iTrip Vacations® Park City Creates Successful Lifestyle Business

After only two months of researching iTrip Vacations®, John and Dori Kennedy knew a vacation rental management franchise was the right fit for them. Since 2011, the Kennedys – owners of iTrip Vacations® Park City – have enjoyed steady growth, success and the freedom of owning a lifestyle business.

“I had a career in the office products industry and semi-retired in 2007, when the company I worked for was purchased by Staples,” John Kennedy says. “I considered going back to a corporate sales leadership role but wanted a new challenge. Throughout my work history, I had built successful businesses for other companies and decided it would be interesting to start my own thing.”
