In 1977, Rob Brown, the President and Founder of Travel Turf, Inc. dba World Class Vacations, was a senior in college and decided to go on a Spring Trip to Florida. Rob was planning on a career in hotel management, but his experience on his trip in March of 1977 was a life changing one. The trip he had booked and paid for with money saved while working part-time in college was a disaster. One problem after another. After receiving no assistance from the travel company handling the trip and discovering that many students were being treated just as he was, because of their age, Rob made a commitment to himself to start a travel company that treats students with the respect they deserve.

Rob understood that he could not do it alone, so he asked three of his most talented college friends, who were in the teaching profession, to join him. Bruce Bevan, VP of Sales & Marketing, Christopher Higgins, VP of Operations and Terry E. Cole, VP of Special Markets. Joining Rob and his college friends is a very talented executive team, which includes Charlene Sulzer, Executive VP & Treasurer, Nancy O'Keefe, VP of Orlando Program, the company's largest program, Lisa Follweiler, VP of Internet Technology, Denise Pattison, VP Public Relations and Carolyn Plunkett, VP Retail Sales complete the executive team, many of who have been with the company since the beginning.

The company Rob started back then has since grown into one of the largest Student Travel Companies in the country and one of Disney and Universal's Top Five Student Travel Planners. Rob has never forgotten what happened back in 1977 and World Class Vacations has provided literally thousands of high schools with memorable school sponsored Class Trips and Music Department Trips, as well as Dance School Trips. What separates a World Class Vacations Trip from any other trip is the attention to detail and the "Whatever It Takes" attitude of every World Class Representative. All World Class Reps are empowered to make executive decisions to deal with the many challenges in the travel business. In fact, most World Class employees have been with the company for over 20 years. The company understands that in order to keep your customers happy, you must first keep your employees happy!

World Class Vacations backs up their commitment to their clients with a Performance Bond on all their trips, which guarantees the company performance and trip inclusions, whatever the circumstances! World Class prides itself in making things right, whether it was within the company control or not. It all goes back to that young college student in 1977 who never forgot how he was treated as a student and his commitment to operate "safe, fun, educational and memorable" travel experiences . . . after all students are people too!
