About Us
The Group Travel Leader Inc. is a Lexington, Kentucky-based publishing company that currently owns and publishes three national travel industry publications. Founded in 1990 by publisher Mac Lacy and his partner, Charlie Presley, The Group Travel Leader Inc. was created to identify specific niches in the travel industry and deliver key readerships in those niches to prospective advertisers.
Conferences and marketplaces for these travel industry niches are managed by Presley in Salem, Ohio, through the offices of Group Leaders of America Inc. (GLAMER). These meetings serve to complete the marketing loop for these influential readers by bringing buyers and sellers of travel face to face annually for education, entertainment, sponsorship opportunities and sales sessions.
