Dallas based Anthony Travel is a big player in the college sports travel segment with a portfolio of 67 schools, and is Disney Sports’ official travel planner at its Orlando sports complex.
"Anthony Travel is the perfect fit as we continue to expand the services and offerings within the On Location Experiences platform," said On Location CEO John Collins.

Our people, values and core purpose align extremely well with the On Location team and vision," said John Anthony, who remains as CEO of Anthony Travel and will take a seat on the On Location board.
