Product Development

Richard J. Romanello, President/Owner, started Holiday Travel of America from his La Jolla home in 1988.  Richard has been in sales and marketing in the resort and travel business since 1969.  With 32 years of involvement in sales and marketing, it was time to introduce the industry to high value and low cost marketing.  In 1988 Richard made it happen.  He has found a way to infuse creativity, value, impact and cost effectiveness into all his products under the roof of Holiday Travel of America.  Over the years Richard has developed State of the Art Marketing totaling over ONE BILLION DOLLARS in sales.  His tireless effort has moved into creating relationships with Resort Developers, which has proved to be a Win-Win situation for Holiday Travel and each developer.  A proud member of ARDA since 1971, Richard has showcased his innovative marketing and sales campaigns of which, still serve as formats today.

Kelly Romanello, Executive Vice President/Owner, is the anchor of the sales force.

Her willingness to go the extra mile for the client and create product has been adopted by the entire sales force at Holiday Travel of America. Kelly and Richard work "Hand in Glove" when developing new product, sales and clients. Kelly takes a "hands on" approach working with all department managers and the 50 (and growing) employees to ensure the quality of our product and customer service to our clients.
