Sioux Falls-Based Travel Agency Booms with Over 550 Agents
Eric Martinson's business, Genie Travel Co., is experiencing rapid growth. He started as a travel agent and now has over 550 agents under his umbrella, including a team in Sioux Falls.
Martinson's connection to Disney began when he joined a college program at Walt Disney World in 2000. Today, his company, Genie Travel Co., is a top-performing agency for the Disney brand, with growth of over 100% year-over-year.
The key to his success lies in his large Facebook group, WDW Tips and Tricks, which has grown from 1.6 million members two years ago to nearly 2.4 million today. Martinson also hosts a Disney Cruise Line group, which has been doing well.
