DH Enterprise & Associates

What DH Enterprise & Associates does

DH Enterprise & Associates is a privately held international travel packaging company founded in 1980 and headquartered in Rockville Centre, NY, operating a multi-brand portfolio built around air-inclusive pre-packaged vacations. The company serves three distinct customer surfaces: North American consumers via the Great Value Vacations direct-to-consumer brand; travel agencies and advisors via the Sceptre Vacations B2B brand; and airline customers via the Aer Lingus Vacation Store, a co-branded extension of the Aer Lingus website. Underpinning all three brands is the GCS (Global Consolidated Services) division, which handles sourcing, contracting, inventory management, technology, and back-office operations for the group.

The core technology stack is a bespoke web and mobile platform with state-of-the-art inventory management capable of searching and quoting millions of air-inclusive price points daily, integrated with the largest GDS systems and product providers in the travel industry. DH also operates an internal call center handling over 15,000 calls per month across managed brands and is supported by in-destination teams in Italy and Ireland alongside a London-based commercial function.

Revenue is generated primarily through transaction fees on packaged vacation sales, supplemented by marketplace commissions on component travel contracting and managed-services revenue from GCS. The company went through a private equity buyout in 2019 led by CEO Ben Block and a full management buyout in 2023, and currently employs approximately 85 travel professionals at its Long Island headquarters with additional satellite teams in Europe.
