Elite Travel Management Group Inc.

What Elite Travel Management Group Inc. does

Elite Travel Management Group, Inc. is a privately held luxury travel agency founded in the mid-1990s by CEO Tammy Levent and headquartered in Palm Harbor, Florida. The company curates and books customized high-end travel experiences — including luxury vacations, destination weddings, honeymoons, all-inclusive resort packages, cruises, group travel, corporate incentive trips, adventure and wellness travel, solo travel, and VIP/Blue Zone experiences — for high-net-worth individuals and corporate clients across roughly 70+ countries. It is ASTA-certified and registered as a Florida Seller of Travel (FL ST34260).

The underlying operating model is a human-advisor travel agency with no proprietary technology platform; customer interactions are conducted via phone (727-726-9090), website inquiry forms, email, and social channels (notably Facebook). Marketing is anchored on recurring broadcast media: a weekly co-hosted segment on NBC Daytime called 'Just Go Trav' (with Jerry Penacoli), a weekly segment on ABC Tampa Bay Morning Blend, and earned press in outlets such as Fox News, USA Today, and TravelPulse. The company also operates an annual trip giveaway sweepstakes as a lead-generation tool.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through commissions paid by third-party travel suppliers (cruise lines, hotels, resorts, tour operators) on bookings made on the customer's behalf; services are offered to customers at no direct fee, with a price-match guarantee advertised. The company has reported over $120 million in cumulative travel business sales since founding and has received TRAVVY and Magellan Awards (2015-2016). Headcount is reported in the 1-10 band, making this a small, founder-led operation that scales primarily through media-driven lead generation rather than headcount expansion. There is no disclosed outside equity investment, no parent company, and no M&A history.
