DreamTrips International has acquired TRVL Ventures, a Georgia-based luxury travel MLM company. The announcement came Saturday, June 4, 2022.
DreamTrips International CEO Mark Smith says,
“The magic of this is the synergy of the deal. Sometimes there’s a perfect storm where environments exist where people can come together.”
TRVL was founded by Spencer Iverson, Jonathan Green, and Mark Sterling, who possess a long lineage with travel MLMs. They launched TRVL with a vision to develop a luxury lifestyle travel club and global brand with high-end appeal that catered to the masses.
They are now bringing their travel MLM expertise to DreamTrips International’s Advisory Council and working directly with Mark and Tammy Smith on the Advisory Council to grow DreamTrips International.
The acquisition of TRVL, a system-driven and training focused company, strategically advances DreamTrips International’s much anticipated July launch.
The deal gives TRVL sales representatives and customers access to the MLM industry’s largest collection of personalized travel experiences around the world known as “DreamTrips”, as well as DreamTrips International’s travel agency and global network of experienced hosts.
In addition, DreamTrips International’s well-seasoned, global travel platform instantly offers customers dozens of expanded travel options, as well as the opportunity for global business growth.

South Korea’s LG Household & Health Care will purchase Tokyo-based cosmetics seller Avon Products for 10.5 billion yen ($96.3 million), marking its fourth acquisition in Japan.
Avon Japan, an offshoot of the American direct sales beauty company, will become a wholly owned subsidiary of LG Household under plans announced on Tuesday. The LG group’s health and beauty arm is expanding its distribution network in the still-vibrant Japanese cosmetics market.
LG Household’s first-quarter operating profit climbed 9% on the year to a record 283 billion won ($262 million) in results released on Tuesday. Sales for the three months ended March rose 7% to 1.65 trillion won.
