Ladies and gentlemen, this looks like the kind of party that’ll go down in the history books.

Global travel wholesaler Excite Holidays hosted its official USA launch party this past Thursday 30 November at The London in West Hollywood.

More than 70 VIP guests from the US travel industry attended and were hosted in style at the hotel’s luxurious penthouse suite, inspired by Vivienne Westwood.

Co-founder and Executive Director George Papaioannou spoke about the expansion of Excite Holidays into the USA, as well as its unique product offering, easy-to-use platform, and world-class around-the-clock service.

George was joined by his key US team, including executives Vanessa Richards, Global Head of Marketing, and Andrew Yell, General Manager of Global Sales, Product and Operations.

The USA sales team were also in attendance, including Samantha Davies, Director of Sales North America, and Steven Murphy, Regional Sales Manager USA.

Topping off an already incredible evening, Los Angeles Laker Julius Randle made a special guest appearance.

He spoke about his passion for travel and welcomed his friends Excite Holidays to the USA.

Guests were fortunate to meet the Laker and have some goodies signed, much to their delight.

Popular L.A. DJ, Krieger, kept the vibe going all night while guests enjoyed the exquisite food provided by the award-winning catering team at The London.

The menu included delectable bites such as a customised Taco station, sushi and sashimi station, ice cream station and the Excite Holidays signature cocktail.

Excite Holidays’, Global Head of Marketing, Vanessa Richards, also previewed the brand new never-before-seen content video titled, “Where would you like to go”.
