PLANO, TX--(Marketwired - Aug 21, 2014) - Ultimate Rack (
Robert Oblon, president of Travopoly, stated, "Travopoly's three decades of experience in the leisure travel industry, combined with UTMR's access to the public markets, can create a successful growth-through-acquisition strategy. Together, we are focused on acquiring local, brick-and-mortar travel agencies with existing revenues and a loyal customer base that would stand to benefit from joining a larger, public organization such as UTMR. In addition, Travopoly has a number of branded, booking engines that target very popular destinations worldwide. These online properties, combined with newly acquired agencies in the U.S., can create a diversified portfolio of travel-centric operators."
Oblon added, "According to The World Tourism Organization, an additional 52 million people traveled internationally in 2013, up 5% year-over-year. This number signifies a recovery in the global travel industry and opportunity to acquire smaller operators at a discount. We believe travel will continue to strengthen in 2014 and have already identified a pool of niche and brick-and-mortars for acquisition this year."
