Pre-Irma: the America Travel office Submitted Photos
When Hurricane Irma ripped through the island, America Travel suffered damage to their office. But the company worked hard and the office is now better than ever.
During the media coverage of Hurricane Irma, videos of America Travel’s damaged exterior and awning became well known as an image representing the destruction on Marco Island. Owner Ewout Rijk de Vries says, “Clients from all over the world called with their concern when our awning, flopping wildly from the front of the building, showed up on the news everywhere.”

Almost 35 years ago, America Travel moved their worldwide business from the Miami Airport to Marco Island, where they plan personalized vacations and counsel travelers. About Marco Island, Ewout says, “Today we still believe it to be the greatest place from which to operate our company.”

America Travel now, better than ever.
