Who is Phoenix Travel Group and why should I use them to book my group's travel?

• Dean and Debbie McWilliams, the owners of PTG, have been in the travel business for more than 12 years. Over the years they recognized the need for travel planners who specialize in escorted group travel. Having traveled the world themselves, they believe their first-hand knowledge, personal service, and attention to detail sets them apart from other travel agencies.
