Merger of tour operators

by editor

JusCollege, a student-focused group travel booking service, just acquired 3 U.S.-based travel tour operators: Inertia Tours, TravelZeeky and SendIt Cabo.

Coming off last week’s news of JusCollege being acquired for $25 million, the company plans to utilize these hyper-local tour operators to help put JusCollege at the lead of the group travel/tour operator industry.

As soon as summer 2018, JusCollege plans to add new travel experiences, including new Cabo San Lucas experiences and trips to South Padre Island, TX, while also making it easier to search popular destinations, compare pricing and packages, and earn rewards for trips booked.

For some background on JusCollege, since its launch in 2012, the company has created a network of over 15,000 student Campus Reps spanning all 50 states and 500 campuses to sell travel packages to students, in exchange for free travel for themselves. To date, JusCollege has seen a 400% growth and traveled over 500,000 students to more than 75 destinations, amounting in more than $65m in trips since its launch.
