SALEM, Ohio — Travel Leaders are discovering that Ovation Brands is serious about the group market. Ovation operates 330 group friendly restaurants across America. Groups may better recognize Ovation Brands by the five restaurant concepts it operates, which include Old Country Buffet, Ryan’s, HomeTown Buffet and Fire Mountain.

Although these are well-known and trusted names to group travel planners, Ovation is taking its commitment to group travel to a higher level. For the past two years, Ovation has served as host to a series of group travel meetings called TravelTalks.

TravelTalks is a nationwide series of group travel gatherings based on education and tour product awareness.

“TravelTalks brings together 30 of the best travel groups in the area for a morning of networking,” said Jennifer Ferguson of The Group Travel Family, the company that organizes the TravelTalks series.

The motto of TravelTalks is “Bigger Groups, Better Trips and Happier Group Leaders,” and Ovation Brands plays a significant part in that.

Group travel planners wishing to attend a TravelTalks meeting and enjoy a free luncheon buffet at an Ovation Brands restaurant may call 800-628-0993 or check online at www.grouptraveltalks.com.
