COLLETTE
ABOUT COLLETTE
Collette Tours was established by Jack Collette in 1918, right after the end of World War I. In the early days of Collette, the first tour consisted of jitney buses full of travelers headed to Florida from Boston. Beginning with these humble beginnings, Collette began touring New England and Canada. Following that, the New England Transportation Company Terminal in Providence, Rhode Island, became the company's new base of operations in 1927.
Today the company's headquarters are located along the Blackstone River, just upstream from the spot where the American Industrial Revolution began. The location is ideal for a company devoted to innovation. Collette now has hundreds of employees in various countries. The Collette leadership team is made up of industry experts who draw on their extensive knowledge and expertise to ensure travelers and guests have the best travel experiences possible.
