August 30th, 2005: ASHEVILLE, NC -------- MAKING FAMILY AND GROUP SKI PACKAGES EASY TO COORDINATE! Here at Ski North Carolina and Ski Southeast we receive hundreds of requests every week beginning in early Autumn and lasting throughout the season...from families, and small to large groups...wondering about the best way to coordinate ski trips. CTI GROUP ADVENTURES based in Asheville, North Carolina is the answer to that question! CTI Group Adventures was founded in 1970 as a family business specializing in guided tours to the highlands of NC and Tennessee. Since then, their destinations and customer base have changed but their commitment to honest values has not.  CTI
Group Adventures is the acknowledged leader in planning ski retreats and
travel for groups in the southeast and mid-Atlantic. Representing 15 ski
resorts across the US and Canada, CTI is the one resource a group will
need for lodging, skiing, meals, transportation—even conference and
meeting space. CTI was licensed in 1970 as Highland Tours, a receptive service in Asheville, NC with offices at the Grove Park Inn. Highland Tours eventually became Carolina Tours and, for many years, specialized in local and regional tours to a variety of tourist destinations. Beginning in 1990, the shift was begun to work primarily in winter ski related travel. Tim and Karen Walker took charge of the company from Karen’s father, Jack Land. Tim had been director of sales at Wolf Laurel Resort and Karen brought extensive experience in tourism. The company grew and in 1995, Cliff Christian and Valerie Taylor, the current President and Vice President of CTI, joined the staff. Carolina Tours, serving primarily the Carolinas, became CTI Group Adventures, serving a much wider region. CTI is very proud of its professional staff, who are skilled and eager to assist you. Expanding Their Focus Even Further! CTI’s primary market is church youth groups. Their web site www.skicti.com has a large section devoted to youth group packages at resorts in NC, WVA, VA, MD, PA, CO, and CA. You will also find the youth oriented Christian Concert Series, an exciting opportunity to see national recording artists live at the end of your day’s skiing. Another growing market for CTI is in planning ski trips for families and small groups. As we mentioned earlier, SkiNC often receives requests from smaller groups of families where they don't quite meet the sixteen person minimums imposed by many resorts. CTI Group Adventures is now offering some unique packages wherein they can accommodate smaller groups and families in such a way to take advantage of the same kind of savings that larger groups get! They will be posting that information on their new website very soon and once it is up you can see that information at http://www.skicti.com/family.htm CTI Group Adventures also is planning great, Christian Singles Packages and you can bet that they will continue to grow their services! 2006 marks the first annual Christian Singles weekend, which is sure to be a hit! |
