“We are incredibly proud of the exceptional performance achieved by our Groups division in the past year," says Shirley Rourke, Vice President of Groups Only at Goway. "This success emphasizes our team’s commitment to delivering unparalleled customer service and unforgettable travel experiences.” 

This milestone marks Groups Only’s most profitable period to date and showcases a burgeoning demand for custom group travel experiences.

“Group travel is one of the hottest trends in the industry right now. In particular, we’ve seen growth in women-only group travel opportunities, culinary tours, multi-generational family travel, heritage and ancestry travel, and group trips for special events,” said Rourke.

She adds that travellers want to visit exciting places, but they also want to share the experience with friends, family, and like-minded explorers. “Add in the cost savings, safety benefits, and ease of planning, and you can see why group travel is such an appealing option for so many people,” Rourke says.
