Keith Kugler

Kugler Travel Marketing began in 2001 as the face of the travel industry changed dramatically. Keith Kugler, CTC, an industry veteran with more than 20 years of experience in retail and wholesale travel, recognized the need of travel suppliers attempting to reach the agency community in a cost-effective way. With limited resources available to specialty travel operators for reaching qualified agencies, and with Keith’s relationships and knowledge of agents and their business, the opportunity for a professional travel marketing operation was obvious.

Keith began his travel career on the retail front. He worked as an agent first, then as an owner/manager of a travel agency in Minnesota, with a strong group and escorted-tour focus. After 10 years of operation he sold the business to AAA, where he ultimately held a senior management position as VP of Travel. From the retail travel side, he moved to a Regional Manager position with MLT Inc., specializing in domestic and international charter destinations.
