Our Story

Let's Connect!

We’re Excited to Connect!
How can we best serve you?

Strong Roots. Compelling Growth.
An Even Stronger Future.

A strong and steady history that has created tremendous opportunity and has solidified our position as one of the top travel brands in the U.S.

Fox World Travel began as a family business, established as Fox Valley Travel by Harold Juedes in 1960. David Juedes joined his father in 1973 and purchased the business in 1979. Chip Juedes then responded to his passion for travel when he became the third generation of the Juedes family to serve travelers at Fox World Travel.

In the 1980s, the acquisition of more than 20 vacation travel agencies, establishing business travel expertise and entering the meetings & incentives area formed the foundation for the business as it is known today.

Although the name has changed and we have experienced tremendous growth, Fox World Travel continues to operate as a privately held business with a dynamic, energetic, and exciting travel culture that delivers travel solutions for our customers.

Now, with more than 300 associates across the country, travelers across the world and services that put every traveler in the VIP seat, we are appreciative of the trust our business partners and travelers put in us. Today, we are stronger than ever and proud to accept numerous accolades for our growth, innovation, and culture of “find-a-way”.  As a company always looking for the next best way to serve, we welcome the opportunity to partner and serve both our tenured and loyal clients as well as build on the new relationships we make each day.
