Tour operator G Adventures will establish a second global
headquarters in Boston.
A doubling in size of its team and office space at its current
location will push G Adventures' Boston location to headquarters status.
G Adventures said the Boston location will "lead in the design, innovation and
contracting of tour products and technology solutions for the entire business,
tapping into the strong talent pool and partnership opportunities in the Boston
area." G's home base in Toronto will focus on company strategy.
G Adventures intends to ramp up U.S. business with the
expansion.
"The USA represents our largest opportunity for growth
in the future. We've really only scratched the surface of what we can do there,"
said G Adventures founder and owner Bruce Poon Tip.
Poon Tip said that the company's U.S. growth has soared beyond
his initial expectations. G Adventures said it employs 70 travel professionals
who work in sales, marketing, tour operations and social impact roles across
the U.S.
G Adventures specializes in small-group adventures, offering
some 750 tours worldwide.
