Meet the Business Owner

Daniel S.

Business Owner

Daniel Slater, CITM, CTG, CTM, President/​Owner and senior instructor is a graduate of both certification programs, and has been in the travel industry for 20 years. He has worked as a motorcoach operator, motorcoach company owner, and tour company owner. His travels have taken him to 30+ USA states, Mexico, Canada, Denmark, Jamaica, Aruba, Guatemala, Belize and numerous Caribbean islands. He has completed 4 tours in China in the last 20 months.

When asked «Where is the favorite part of the world in which you travel?», I usually reply: «Where ever I am at that time». I know that the world is always changing and, even when I do the same tour back-​to-​back, I and my passengers can see completely different things from the prior tour. My passengers see and experience different aspects of all the places visited. As for myself, I love to see my passengers enjoying themselves and I get to share their happiness while I insure the smooth flow of the tour.
