Certified — business as a force for good
From one storefront
to a community of hundreds.
Avenue Two Travel was founded in 1987 by Debbie and Craig Bush in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania — originally as Park Avenue Travel. What began as a small, family-owned storefront has grown into a prominent, still family-owned institution and one of the most respected luxury host agencies in the country.
In 2014, Debbie and Craig's son Josh Bush took the helm and rebranded the agency Avenue Two Travel — honoring the legacy while building its next chapter. The Bush family proudly continues that legacy to this day.
Our mission is to design authentic travel experiences that make us better global citizens. We believe travel is a force for good — it drives human connection, encourages us to continue learning, and empowers us to take ownership in the future of our planet.
Advisors who love what they do.
From London to the far corners of the world, our advisors travel together, learn together, and celebrate together — this is the community behind the name.
Travel as a force for good.
Travel for Better is Avenue Two's social-impact initiative, built on a simple belief: travel isn’t just about seeing new places — it’s about making a difference. Its mission is to leverage the power of travel to uplift communities, promote environmental stewardship, and foster sustainable economies, ensuring that tourism leaves a lasting, positive impact on destinations worldwide.
Every project is chosen with care and held to a high standard, so that support reaches the communities that need it most — including the grassroots initiatives that rarely get the visibility to attract it.
- Accountability — every project goes through a rigorous review process, including interviews, financial documentation, and Advisory Board approval.
- Equitable Distribution — initiatives large and small, well-known and under-the-radar, chosen so support reaches the communities that need it most.
- Amplifying Impact — shining a light on grassroots projects doing incredible work, and helping equip them to keep thriving.
The values that guide every decision.
Connection
The best travel is built on human relationships — between advisor and client, and between advisors who champion one another.
Growth
We invest in the long game. Success is measured in careers built over decades, not commissions earned in a quarter.
Curiosity
The best advisors are obsessive learners. We build a culture that rewards that obsession with access, education, and community.
Impact
B Corp certified — because how we do business matters as much as the business we do. We hold ourselves to a higher standard.
Integrity
Built on honest counsel, transparent economics, and doing right by the advisor and the client — even when it's inconvenient.
Legacy
35 years of earned trust. Every advisor who joins Avenue Two becomes part of that story — and is expected to add to it.
