G Adventures Names U.S Managing Director, Opens New Office in Boston

ben perloSmall-group adventure travel tour operator G Adventures expands its U.S. presence with the appointment of Ben Perlo to the position of managing director for the United States, and a new U.S headquarters in Boston, Massachusetts

Perlo will be responsible for managing the strategic, organizational and operation direction of the U.S. team, while amplifying G Adventures’ growth in the market – a region that has rapidly grown to be the fourth-largest market for the tour operator. 

The news comes on the heels of the departure of Ron Fenska, G Adventures' former director of sales who left the company December 19 to join one of its main competitors, Intrepid Travel

G Adventures experienced a sales growth of 43 percent in the U.S. last month, compared with sales from January 2014. This marks the operator’s largest U.S. sales month ever in its 25-year history.

Perlo joins the company with more than 10 years of leadership and management experience, and most recently served as the senior vice president for Vantage Deluxe World Travel. He also held a senior position at Overseas Adventure Travel.
