Travel industry veteran Melissa Krueger has been appointed President of the Global Travel Collection, Internova Travel Group’s luxury travel division. 

Krueger succeeds Angie Licea, who stepped away from her role after helping grow GTC into a $2.4 billion business. Licea will remain with Internova to explore “other opportunities within the organization.” 

Krueger previously served as Chief Executive Officer of Classic Vacations, where she led the company through four of the most successful years in its history. She also guided Classic Vacations through its 2025 acquisition by TBO Tek. 

"Global Travel Collection represents some of the most accomplished advisors and respected names in luxury travel," said Krueger. "I've spent much of my career working alongside travel advisors, and I understand the passion, expertise and relationships they bring to their clients every day. I'm excited to join this exceptional organization and work with the team to build on its success, strengthen our partnerships and create even more opportunities for our advisors."

As President, she will oversee the division’s operations, business performance and growth, focusing on growing advisor support, industry partnerships and more.
