One of the original tour operators admitted into USTOA, Collette Vacations is the oldest tour operator in North America. Collette Vacations got its start in Boston under an entrepreneurial Jack Collette, who, in 1962, sold the business to Dan Sullivan, Sr. In 1990, Dan Sullivan, Jr. was named President and CEO of Collette Vacations. With over 30 years of experience in the travel industry, he has been responsible for such innovative first-to-market initiatives as launching a worldwide sales team and driving new product development to non-traditional destinations. In 2007, he (along with his late father) was inducted into the Tourism Hall of Fame. Today, Collette Vacations enters its 3rd generation of Sullivan family ownership and employs more than 500 travel professionals. In addition to its U.S. headquarters in Rhode Island, Collette operates offices in Canada and England.
