Greg Kiep
Customized Leisure and LGBTQ Travel Agent
After earning my MBA in 2007, I started my own marketing company focused on marketing LGBTQ travel with companies such as Atlantis Events, R Family Vacations, and RSVP Vacations. With them, I have been on over 50 cruises and visited many of the world’s most fascinating destinations.
In 2017, I joined Protravel International. My involvement with marketing hotels, cruises and group travel in LGBTQ communities and my experience and connections at the top LGBT travel companies have made me the natural go-to person for LGBT advice among my friends and peers. My business quickly grew and thanks to my mentors, colleagues and clients, I was a 2018 Virtuoso Rising Star nominee, a prestigious award given to a travel agent new to the business who “exhibits exceptional promise to become one of the very best.”
Through my affiliation with Protravel, I offer customized travel solutions for all leisure travelers, and my business is now a 50/50 split between gay and straight. As one of the top players in the industry, Protravel enables me to provide great perks and amenities at luxury hotels, on cruises, and in all facets of your travel experience. For the same price (and sometimes cheaper), you will receive things to make your vacation even more special. These include room upgrades, food and beverage credits, spa services, wine and fruit, early check-in and late check-out, breakfast, free Wi-Fi, and more. These little "extras" can really take a travel experience to the next level.
I also bring years of personal travel experience to my planning, and if I don't know a destination myself, I have a huge network of peers that I can get an answer from when I need it. This means a smoother, easier travel experience for you.
As a travel expert, I help you cut through the overload of often conflicting information that you are bombarded with on the internet and in the media. I’ll provide options specific to your interests that you often wouldn’t have access to on your own. I also will go through every step of your journey with you so everything is covered and I’m on hand for questions while you are traveling. By putting yourself in the hands of an expert, all you need to do is relax and enjoy your adventure.
