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

NEW YORK and IRVING, Texas, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Veterans and military spouses are reaching new milestones as travel entrepreneurs through Nexion Travel Group’s Veterans in Travel program. Advisors participating in the program have already surpassed their total travel sales from 2025, generating more than $4 million in 2026 year-to-date sales.

Four Veterans in Travel advisors have each exceeded $1 million in lifetime travel sales, including one who has surpassed $2 million.

Nexion Travel Group, part of Internova Travel Group, launched Veterans in Travel in 2018 to help military veterans and spouses transition into travel entrepreneurship. Eligible participants can receive a 50% scholarship toward travel advisor training, along with business coaching, mentorship and ongoing support.

“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.”  

As Veterans Day approaches, Nexion encourages veterans and military spouses considering their next career chapter to explore opportunities in the travel industry.
