Event hospitality firm On Location Experiences has announced the acquisition of Anthony Travel, one of the country’s leading sports travel agencies.

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.

"As the number one authority in sports travel, John Anthony and his team immediately provide us with important new expertise. Adding the travel component enables us to go deeper with our existing core business."

On Location Experiences is a private equity backed hospitality business focused on major league sports and entertainment.

It is the official event management business of the NFL and previously acquired VIP music hospitality company Runaway Tours from rocker Jon Bon Jovi.

"Joining On Location Experiences will drive transformational growth for our company and new opportunities for our people and current clients. 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.
