And here's a few things they've said.

“The partnership has been outstanding. They are professionals with excellent skills and an aptitude to lead in areas our team was weak. The Going Places team has excellent negotiating talent, and they work hard to understand the culture of our programs and to meet (and exceed!) our expectations. We look forward to a long partnership and highly recommend Going Places Travel. You’ll be impressed.” – Don K, VETS Events

“Going Places has deep industry knowledge and expertise which proved irreplaceable when it came to managing 800 airfare itineraries, organizing rooming lists, and managing important relationships such as the hotel, resort, and site vendors. I particularly appreciated their professionalism and flexibility as my company was forced to pivot and adjust our timeline and expectations along the way. If your event requires a deep level of complexity and thoughtfulness, Going Places can get it done!"

“Over the years at Disney and ESPN, Going Places flawlessly managed our annual groups that ranged from 10–12 clients traveling to high profile sporting events to 40-50 clients to exotic adventures to places like Argentina, Thailand, French Polynesia, Ireland, etc. In addition to competitive/fair pricing, their attention to detail and sourcing of phenomenal local resources and DM partners in destinations makes them a clear choice for our incentive needs. When clients ask, 'How are you going to top yourself next year?' I just call Going Places."
