Directravel is an industry leader in corporate and leisure travel management. Directravel offers its clients cutting-edge business travel solutions that provide ease of travel and significant cost savings that improve clients’ bottom line.
Chairman and CEO Vincent E. Vitti founded Directravel, then VTS Travel Enterprises, in 1980, when he executed one of the first leveraged buyouts in the travel industry and purchased the travel division of Citibank. Ten years later, Vitti sold a portion of the company to the employees, making then-VTS Travel Direct the first employee-owned major travel agency in the United States. Directravel has since grown to become one of the top ten business travel company in the United States, according to Business Travel News.
Directravel recently pioneered the philosophy of Travology™ – the art and science of travel management – and incorporated it into every aspect of its employees’ work lives. Essentially, this means that each employee’s job is to make travel planning and management as smart and easy as possible for clients.
