Opens regional office to accommodate growth
BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA, AND ORLANDO, FLORIDA, AUGUST 17, 2016 – GolfThere, the United States’ largest golf travel company, is pleased to announce the addition of a regional office and new staff in Orlando, Florida. The company has sold golf group trips, golf packages and vacations to the Orlando market for over twenty years. However, with some golf market volatility occurring in the past few months, company executives felt that a stronger market presence was necessary given the popularity of Florida golf vacations and the continued growth of the company in that market.
Company President, Alan Hale, said, “Florida, in general, but Orlando in particular, continues to have double digit growth rates for the company. With high frequency air service and low cost airfares expected to continue in 2017 and beyond, the timing seemed appropriate to augment our virtual staff presence in Orlando and open a full-time regional office.” As part of this growth, GolfThere is also pleased to announce that golf travel industry veterans, Robert Vintilla, Ed Bell, and Bryan Martin have joined the company to help lead the expansion efforts. “With nearly sixty-one years of combined experience and knowledge of golf travel in the Orlando golf market between these guys, timing could not be better with our expansion plans”, noted Ken Rysedorph, Sr. Vice President Sales. All three are veterans of the golf travel industry and formerly worked with one of the leading golf packaging companies based in Florida.
GolfThere continues to have consistent 30-40% compound annual growth rates and believes that 2017 growth will exceed expectations. The company augmented sales and its growth trajectory in 2016 when it completed an acquisition of Southern Golf Tours of Mobile, Alabama and Golf Packages, Etc., of Biloxi, Mississippi in late December 2015.
