Perillo Tours joined the Outside Sales Support Network (OSSN) as a new allied supplier member. OSSN is the trade association that represents independent travel agents, home-based travel agents and host agencies. “Perillo Tours is one of the travel industry's most respected brands, and their involvement in OSSN will put them in touch with thousands of home-based travel professionals across North America,” said Gary Fee, president of OSSN. For Perillo the move extends its objective of growing its groups business.

Last year, Perillo Tours appointed Carol Dimopoulos as executive vice president of Perillo Tours’ groups division, with the goal of positioning Perillo Tours as a go-to company for group bookings. Perillo Tours offers travel agents the freedom to design any itinerary based on group’s interest and travel goals, and offers exclusive access to sights not offered on scheduled tours. Perillo is targeting its custom group experience to families, faith-based travelers, educational and academic groups, weddings, affinity groups and clubs, non-profit organizations, and business conferences. Perillo Tours Groups also launched Journeys of Faith, customized faith-based journeys to Italy, and Learning Journeys, customized educational adventures to Italy.

Founded in 1990, OSSN is the largest trade association in North America dedicated to serving the needs of home-based travel agents. OSSN represents more than 8,000 agents with more than 80 chapters and 160 Allied Supplier Members throughout the United States.
