LOS ANGELES & ORLANDO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AmericanTours International (ATI) CEO Noel Irwin Hentschel and President Michael Fitzpatrick are producers of the most innovative travel packages in the tourism industry. These creative tours have generated unparalleled demand encouraging travelers to choose America as the place they want to spend their time and money, resulting in the creation of thousands of new jobs across America.
ATI’s “Sea to Shining Sea" tours cover 33 states from California to Florida and New York or in reverse enjoying all the majesty that America has to offer in between. Exploring the scenic national parks is a favorite. Visiting the “Wild West” states of Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, Montana and Utah provides the opportunity to experience first hand what most have only read about or seen in movies. Hentschel remarked, "These international visitors experience more of America traveling with ATI than most Americans will in a lifetime. They get to know the ‘real’ America; singing at Sunday Gospel Services in Baton Rouge, line dancing in Fort Worth, or filming behind the scenes on live movie sets in Hollywood.”
For 36 years ATI has specialized in unique one-of-a-kind tours. ATI partnered with the National Park Service to open Alcatraz to the public. “People said it could not be done and that was our call to action," said Hentschel.
Opening doors with governments is what sets ATI apart and is a challenge CEO Noel Irwin Hentschel takes to heart. "Tell Noel it is impossible and she knows who to call upon to make it possible," said co-founder Michael Fitzpatrick. "That's how ATI helped make it possible for Americans to visit Cuba and to experience little-known places in China”, continued Fitzpatrick. Hentschel served as advisor to 7 Secretaries of Commerce and currently presides as Deputy Secretary General of the World Tourism Cities Federation headquartered in Beijing.
AmericanTours International (ATI) is America's largest privately held, American-owned, inbound/outbound tourism organization serving a half million visitors annually from 70 countries.
