“Duluth is an important addition to our worldwide network of travel management partners,” said John F. Rizzo, President and Chief Operating Officer, Deem. “Duluth’s excellent reputation for customer service and strong presence in the Southeastern U.S. and corporate sectors will significantly extend our coverage in those areas.”
