NEW YORK
With over 30 years of experience in the travel industry in the United States, Muriel Samama is starting a new chapter in her professional ventures.
Maven - American Journeys & Events is a full-service multilingual DMC with offices in New York and Las Vegas, which aims to design unique, exclusive and memorable experiences all across the United States for groups of any size. The DMC will customize off-the-beaten-path itineraries, exciting incentive programs, special events, corporate meetings and VIP services.
After taking over the lead for New York-based sightseeing company Harlem Spirituals in the '80s and creating the famous Gospel & Jazz Tours, Samama then created the receptive company New York Visions Travel Group in the '90s. By offering reliable destination management services in New York City and the major cities of the East Coast, she quickly won the trust of travel and tourism professionals, with whom she has since built long-term working relationships on an international scale. This laid the foundation for the creation of Maven.
With this new project, Samama is extending her reach to the rest of the United States by opening two offices: one in New York and one in Las Vegas, thereby being able to offer a broad range of high-end services for MICE professionals nationwide.
Aptly named Maven, Hebrew for “those who share their knowledge,” the new entity puts three decades of experience and professionalism at the service of corporate projects. Whether it be to motivate teams, celebrate achievements or simply to explore the United States, Maven offers its clients a vast network of rigorously selected partners, a thorough understanding of operations, and innovative ideas to provide exclusive and custom-tailored programs with seamless management and logistics.
To support all of its projects, Maven will rely on a multilingual team of experts in travel and events management, each of them passionate about the destination they are overseeing. Muriel Samama explains: "With Maven, we want to offer our clients new experiences, take them to unexpected places and focus a new and fresh lens on the United States."
