2023 Group Summit highlights include new group applications and network success.
FLORIDA’S FORT LAUDERDALE – Leading travel agency franchise Dream Vacations/CruiseOne reports record-breaking group sales for the first half of 2023. Compared to the same period last year, the business has sold more affinity groups this year.
