NATIONAL LEISURE GROUP (NLG) CHANGES NAME TO WORLD TRAVEL HOLDINGS
The Name Changes, But NLG 'Remains The Same' For The Long Haul
PORT WASHINGTON, NY — January 4, 2007 –
World Travel Holdings, a New York-based travel company, owned and operated by Co-CEOs Brad & Jeff Tolkin,
acquired Woburn-based National Leisure Group, Inc. in July. Over the next several months, NLG will be
changing its name to World Travel Holdings.
According to the new owners, NLG's market share and employee size provide a formidable platform from
which they can build the World Travel Holdings company into the largest distributor of leisure travel
packages for all consumer markets through a variety of distribution channels.
Aside from representing the new ownership, the World Travel Holdings name more accurately reflects the
company's plans for international market growth and global industry leadership. The first major step in
this evolution is the migration to one corporate website. Visitors of the NLG site, www.nlg.com, will be
automatically redirected to www.worldtravelholdings.com.
"We believe the customers, vendors, and partners who have done business with NLG over the past 20 years
will understand that although NLG will be called World Travel Holdings, the people at NLG and the
experience that NLG has provided has not only remained the same since the acquisition, but will only
continue to improve under this new ownership," explained Jeff Tolkin.
NLG has long been an industry leader in operating top-notch sales and service organizations, creating
strong vendor and partner relationships, and providing an exceptional customer experience for all leisure
travelers; they will continue to do so as World Travel Holdings (WTH).
