As an family-owned and owner-managed company, Huron Tours and Travel, Inc. (HVT) was one of the first travel agencies in Michigan, founded in Ann Arbor in 1961 as Hodges Travel. In 1977 it was then purchased by local investors and renamed Huron Valley Travel. In 1985 John Kosta purchased the business and within the first ten years he grew Huron Valley Travel from from $1 million in sales to more than $7 million. In 1987, HVT was designated the exclusive tour provider for the Ann Arbor Flower & Garden Show, and handled the arrangements for 37 separate tour groups and garden club visits. The agency offered its first garden tour to England three years later. In the ensuing years, Huron Valley Travel has taken more garden lovers to London's Chelsea Flower Show than any other United States company and is considered by many to be the number one provider of Chelsea Flower Show trips to travelers from the United States.
