We have the experience and buying power to offer our customers the best fares. established Vista Tours Travel in 1971 with the thought of running group bus trips during the summer months to supplement his teaching salary. As the public sector became more and more interested in aviation, Vista Travel opened its first location in Hazlet, NJ in 1973 in the New York / Keansburg bus terminal located on
route 36. Our steady growth from leisure travel, group trips and corporate travel became the foundation for expansion of the company. One of Vista Travels first corporate accounts was I. (International Flavors and Fragrance). Working two jobs and entertaining clients at his home in Clark NJ, Mr. Scocca decided to open his second office in Colonia NJ. With the steady influence of recommendations from satisfied clients, Vista Travel moved to larger quarters in 1974 and established the Colonia location as it headquarters. In 1976, Vista Travel became one of the first travel agencies in the state to install United Airlines' reservation system, Apollo. Apollo provided Vista Travel with state of the art technology that helps the agents to better serve their customers. Since then, information technology has played a strong role in Vista’s continued growth. We employ the latest in technology, implementing many new software products to improve efficiencies and to ensure the lowest fares. This automation moved into the back office in our reporting, reconciliation and accounting areas. With the ever evolving technology our clients can request itineraries via phone, fax, e-mail or on-line. Our corporate division established itself as a leader in the state, serving accounts such as Puerto Rico Marine Management, Regina Vacuum, Ingersoll Rand, Siemens Medical Systems, Intel, Hewlett Packard, ITT Industries and the State of New Jersey.
