Goway Expands GroupsOnly Leadership Team & Launches Travel Advisor Contest

Goway GroupsOnly has expanded its leadership team in response to a record-breaking year in 2025.

Goway GroupsOnly is the tailor-made tour operator’s groups division. The dedicated team specializes in planning travel for 10 or more travelers. In 2025, this division grew 25%, seeing 100 groups bookings in December alone.

In response to this growth, Goway has promoted Jennifer Murray to director of groups sales and reservations, and hired Ali Rizvi as groups sales and reservation manager for Asia and the Americas and Patrick Corriveau as groups sales and reservation manager for Europe. 

Along with the new hires, Goway GroupsOnly has launched a travel advisor sweepstakes for the month of February. For every group booking made from Feb. 1 through Feb. 28, 2026, travel advisors will earn five entries for the contest. The Goway GroupsOnly Sweepstakes’ top prize is $1,000, to be issued via a GowayPro Virtual Rewards Card, followed by a $500 and a $250 prize.

Winners of the three prizes will be selected by random draw in March.

“It’s a dynamic time for custom group travel,” said Shirley Rourke, vice president of Goway GroupsOnly. “The interest in custom group travel shows no signs of slowing down. By promoting Jennifer Murray and bringing Ali Rizvi and Patrick Corriveau onto the team, we’re setting ourselves up for success in the years to come and ensuring we’re equipped to ride this wave of popularity for custom group travel.”
