STEVE KAVERMAN

Profile


Steve Kaverman, founder of Tourism Champion, has enjoyed a remarkable career as a tour director and interpretive tourist guide since 2000. He is thankful for opportunities to be part of the management team for well-known tour companies with U.S., Colorado, and international operations. He is also happy to have served in chamber of commerce leadership roles, as a destination marketing executive, and on the Colorado Tourism Office Board of Directors. He enjoys sharing the knowledge he has gained through exhaustive destination research and by leading tours in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Steve has guided tours for two to 50 guests of all ages on the trail, aboard trains, off-road 4x4 Jeeps, deluxe vans & motorcoaches, excursion vessels and ocean liners. He is equally comfortable before audiences on webinars, in classrooms and as a speaker at professional conferences. Best of all, says Steve, he never tires of guiding and managing tours for clients around the Denver area, where he lives, and to other favorite destinations in Colorado, the Southwest and across North America..
