In a significant move to broaden its international footprint, TBO Tek Limited has acquired 100% of US-based Classic Vacations, LLC for $125 Mn. The deal, executed through its wholly owned step down subsidiary TBO LLC, reflects TBO’s strategic commitment to expanding in the luxury travel sector, especially across the United States.
The transaction, effective 1 October 2025, was finalised with a total consideration of $125 Mn, comprising a closing payment of $110.36 Mn and closing adjustments worth $14.64 Mn. Funding for the acquisition came through a mix of internal accruals, inter-corporate loans extended to Tek Travels DMCC, and credit facilities backed by corporate guarantees. Following the acquisition, Classic Vacations has become a wholly owned subsidiary of TBO LLC and a material step-down subsidiary of TBO Tek Limited.
Classic Vacations, a cornerstone of the US luxury travel market for over 50 years, will continue to operate under its own brand under the leadership of CEO Melissa Krueger. Serving a network of 10,000+ travel advisors and partnering with leading consortia, the company offers premium solutions across hotels, air travel, car rentals, curated experiences, and travel protection, with a strong emphasis on bespoke itineraries and white-glove service. The Najafi Companies, a Phoenix-based investment firm, was the seller in this transaction.
For TBO Tek, this acquisition aligns with its inorganic growth strategy and reinforces its commitment to deepening its presence in North America. By leveraging Classic Vacations’ established network of high-value advisors and premium supply partners, TBO aims to accelerate scale, expand its service offerings, and create enhanced value for both travel advisors and end customers, further strengthening its global travel distribution ecosystem.
Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Gurugram, India, TBO Tek Limited operates a global travel distribution platform that connects more than 159,000 travel buyers with over 1 Mn suppliers across 100+ countries. The company simplifies buying and selling of travel by leveraging a connected ecosystem that spans airlines, hotels, and ancillary services. With this acquisition, TBO is reinforcing its ambition of becoming one of the world’s largest travel-tech platforms.
