Prestige Travel of Cincinnati is expanding its statewide presence through a merger with Elite Travel of Columbus, creating a travel organization with locations in Cincinnati, Columbus, Solon and Ft. Thomas, Kentucky.
According to a community announcement, the move brings together two longtime agencies known for serving leisure, luxury and corporate travelers. Company leaders said the broader footprint will allow the agency to provide local support to more travelers throughout the region.
“This merger represents an exciting new chapter for our company and our clients,” said Dave Hershberger, president of Prestige Travel. “Prestige Travel and Elite Travel have built their businesses on the same core values of expertise, integrity, and outstanding
customer service. By joining together, we are creating an organization with greater resources, expanded reach, and an even stronger ability to help our clients explore the world.”
The combined company will continue offering travel planning and management services, including luxury vacations, cruises, escorted tours, all-inclusive resorts, destination weddings, family travel, group travel and corporate travel programs.
“Elite Travel has always been dedicated to delivering exceptional travel experiences and personalized attention,” said Kay Mayer, president of Elite Travel. “We are excited to become part of the Prestige Travel family and to offer our clients access to an expanded team of travel professionals, enhanced technology, and broader industry relationships while maintaining the trusted service they expect.”
Clients will see no interruption in service, and existing bookings and advisor relationships will remain unchanged as the organization moves forward under the merger, according to the announcement.
