TLG CELEBRATES 35 YEARS OF TRAVEL DONE RIGHT

Jenkintown, PA, May 2007 – TLG Travel celebrates 35 years today with a rich history, founded by the love of traveling the globe. 

Harry Kabo, celebrated WWII war hero and successful Philadelphia construction owner, envisioned helping others enjoy traveling the world as much as he did. Mr. Kabo started Get-A-Way Travel, Inc. in 1972 and grew the primarily leisure travel agency into a multimillion-dollar vacation marketplace. Later establishing GTI Travel, Get-A-Way’s business travel division, the division would then join Carlson Wagonlit Travel.

In 2007, TLG Travel Management was formed when four top Mid-Atlantic travel agencies joined forces, one being GTI Travel. With offices and affiliations throughout the United States, TLG presently serves over 500 corporate clients.

“We are so proud of our history and experience,” said Bonni Simon, TLG Travel’s president.  “The firm’s rich background began with one man’s love of travel.  Thirty-five years of growth, along with the evolution of travel and business alike have changed the industry significantly.  However, our passion and love for travel remain.”

TLG is celebrating 35 years by launching a referral program called “Spread Your Love of Travel”.  When clients refer new customers, and those customers become a client, the referrer is rewarded with a free $100 Visa gift card.  For more information on the referral program, visit www.tlgtravel.com.
