Bennett has more than 16 years’ experience in the travel industry. Prior to his new position, he was responsible for the development of key relationships with ABC’s hotel and supplier partners, including managing key accounts and implementing supplier marketing initiatives. Previously, he was with Thomas P. Gohagan & Company in the alumni travel market, where he held positions in customer relations, program operations and development, and direct sales. He began his career in Istanbul, where he was responsible for tour program sales for U.S. individual and group travelers.
