In 1983, Hawaii Travel, LTD. was formed by John Duby specializing in one-week graduation packages to Hawaii and Historical East Coast Trips to Washington D.C. Mr. Duby was an educator for 13 years taking his students to both destinations.

In 1989, John Duby and Bruce Bitnoff joined their companies and changed the name to USA Consolidated Travel Group. Since that merger, USA has grown at an impressive rate adding additional travel programs and other student travel companies to their company including operations in Western Canada. In 2002, Patricia Neimeyer, considered an expert in East Coast youth travel programs, joined USA bringing another 20 years of experience to the company.
