The award recognises Shah's dedication to the travel industry over four decades and his leadership in building one of the nation's leading airline consolidators for travel agents. Reflecting on his career, Shah expressed deep gratitude for the award: "I’m fortunate to have had the opportunity to help so many in the travel industry, and I look forward to continuing to contribute in new ways."
Under Shah's leadership, the Detroit-based company, started in 1976, has grown to include offices in Atlanta, Chicago, Fort Lauderdale, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, and Washington, DC, with international offices in Toronto and Mumbai. The company has also been the recipient of top sales awards from all the major airlines including American Airlines, British Airways, Delta Air Lines, Emirates, Lufthansa German Airlines, United Airlines, and more.
