IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Group Travel Directors (GTD) was started at a kitchen table on May 1, 1982, with lots of enthusiasm and a little bit of start-up capital.
On May 1, 2021 the company celebrated 39 years of enriching lives through travel; what a journey it has been!
Now we as the co-owners of GTD/Accolades International Tours for the Arts, are taking this opportunity to retire with the blessings of our staff and families.
As we look back on these years, we are profoundly grateful for the privilege of enriching the lives of thousands of travelers, hundreds of employees, and so many colleagues in the travel industry throughout the world. We truly have accomplished our mission!
