enjoys skiing, diving, and climbing some of the world's tallest mountains.

Roy Goree has been traveling for as long as he can remember. A passion for history, exotic
locations, and a hard to satisfy golf and scuba habit were the reasons Roy elected to start Signature Destinations, back in 1986. His early clients were primarily high end leisure travelers who leaned heavily on the expertise his agency provided. Being a full service travel agency was a far more labor intensive and personal pursuit, before the world wide web changed the nature of travel, for most everyone.

However, it’s Roy’s persistent attention to even the smallest detail that as allowed Signature to thrive for more than 30 years. He has made it a priority to see most every destination he’s
booked for his clients, and consequently has traveled to more countries than most could ever
imagine. The agency’s client base ranges from long standing personal travel clients, to a broad base of business customers representing many industries, some among the Fortune 500.
