SUBURBAN TRAVEL, INC.'s JOHN HOWLAND
SELECTED BY VIRGIN GALACTIC TO BECOME AN ACCREDITED SPACE AGENT IN NORTH AMERICA
When Virgin Galactic was ready to bring their pioneering travel venture to the North American market, they recognized the important role that travel agents would play in the sales process and they sought to work with just one agency network – Virtuoso – whose consultants are renowned for selling experiential travel. In August, Virgin Galactic named leading travel company, Virtuoso, as their exclusive retail travel group for North America. Since then, the two organizations have been working together to match the right consultants with this unique program, vetting applications from 120 would-be Space Agents.
“Given the interest and caliber of the applicants, limiting the program to 45 participants was our greatest challenge,” said Carolyn Wincer, Head of Astronaut Sales for Virgin Galactic. “As a Virtuoso consultant, John Howland embodies the adventurous and entrepreneurial spirit needed to represent Virgin Galactic. John Howland's passion for space travel, combined with his talent for selling unique experiences, makes him an ideal candidate for this new level of space tourism.” Read More >
