Melissa Krueger has been named President at Internova Travel Group
Internova Travel Group today announced the appointment of Melissa Krueger as President of Global Travel Collection (GTC), its luxury travel division representing more than 1,500 of the industry's leading travel advisors.
Krueger brings nearly 30 years of experience in the travel, hospitality and luxury sectors, with a track record of driving growth, strengthening brands and building partnerships across the global travel industry. She succeeds Angie Licea, who recently announced her decision to step away from the role after helping transform GTC into a unified $2.4 billion business.
Most recently, Krueger served as Chief Executive Officer of Classic Vacations, where she led the company through four of the most successful years in its 48-year history. During her tenure, she strengthened Classic's position in the luxury travel market, expanded its digital capabilities and elevated service standards and personalized experiences for travel advisors and their clients. She also guided the company through its acquisition by TBO Tek in 2025.
Prior to becoming CEO of Classic Vacations, Krueger held several senior leadership positions with the company spanning sales, brand development, profitability and group travel. Under her leadership, Classic earned multiple industry accolades recognizing its growth, performance and commitment to excellence in luxury travel.
As President, Krueger will oversee GTC's operations, business performance and strategic growth, with a focus on strengthening advisor support, deepening industry partnerships and expanding opportunities across the luxury travel market.
Licea will remain with Internova during the transition while exploring other opportunities within the organization.
