LAS VEGAS, NV — (Marketwired) — 09/25/13 — JusCollege, the go-to travel and entertainment service for college students who want an easy way to plan, organize and book their social experiences, today announced that it has appointed two veterans of leading student travel company to its executive team. Jim Bianchi-Rossi joins JusCollege as Vice President of Operations and his brother, Tony Bianchi-Rossi, as Vice President of Sales.
An instrumental part of the Bianchi-Rossi Tours team, which has traveled more than 100,000 students to the Mexican Riviera since 1987, is that both brothers have 18 plus years of industry experience. The move to hire Jim and Tony Bianchi-Rossi closely follows JusCollege-s recent acquisition of , a premier student tour provider in Cabo San Lucas for more than 20 years. The acquisition will include the addition of former CaboSpringBreak.com owner, Jason Hollander, who will serve as director of business development for JusCollege. With the appointments of Hollander and the Bianchi-Rossi brothers, JusCollege brings the expertise of two of the industry-s most respected and longest-running student tour agencies into the company fold.
“For fifty combined years, both CaboSpringBreak.com and Bianchi-Rossi Tours have maintained a reputation for providing exceptional service and value for their customers,” said JusCollege CEO Andrew Citores. “We wanted to be aligned with leaders of companies that get this right. We also realized that working with these industry veterans would allow us to best scale our growth while leveraging their extensive industry experience.”
JusCollege combines a convenient online service for students to plan, coordinate and book their individual or group travel and events with hands-on customer service including 24/7 support via email, text, chat and phone. In just three years, JusCollege has grown to more than 60,000 customers at 100 plus campuses throughout the U.S. The startup is redefining the typical revenue model by streamlining its sales teams (eliminating the “middle man”), as well as by diversifying products — offering multiple travel and entertainment packages to dozens of events and destinations worldwide throughout the year.
“JusCollege has succeeded in producing a more efficient way to sell, supported by new technology, a driven sales and executive team, and a clear understanding of what their customers want,” said Jason Hollander. “Combine this with the experience of those who have run companies like ours, and you get an incredible combination that doesn-t exist anywhere in this market.”
Jim Bianchi-Rossi added, “Student travel has a lot of moving parts in terms of logistics, destinations, relationships with suppliers and handling of customers. To be successful in this business, a company needs to ensure they are reliable in each of these areas. The JusCollege team understands this and consistently delivers on what they promise.”
