Nexion Travel Group’s Veterans in Travel Program Surpasses 2025 Sales as Advisors Reach New Milestones

Internova Travel Group company celebrates growing success of veteran and military spouse entrepreneurs ahead of Veterans Day

“Veterans in Travel is one of the programs Nexion is most proud of,” said Jackie Friedman, CTC, VTA, President, Nexion Travel Group. “Giving our veterans and active military spouses an opportunity to break into travel is not only a way we can give back, but it is also a way for our industry and its travelers to benefit. Our members who have come through Veterans in Travel already have leadership skills and resilience. Veterans in Travel provides the missing ingredient of industry knowledge and support.”

“When I entered the Veterans in Travel Program, I thought being a travel agent would be entirely different than anything I ever did in the Army, and that I would have to learn an entirely new set of skills to be successful,” said Mike Capps, owner of Dapper Travels. “As time went by, I realized how many of the staff officer skills I developed over my career had become indispensable in designing quality trips, communicating with clients, and running the operations of my business. It turns out this is a much more natural transition that I ever anticipated. And while the skills required may be similar, the destinations I get to go are way, way better.”
