WHY GOLDEN COMPASS?
Golden Compass… Based in Denver, Colorado, hospitality has been our life and business for more than twenty years. We have been in the business of supporting the group travel and transportation needs of companies all over the world for all of our careers… When it came time to give this company, our company, a name and an identity, Golden Compass was the natural choice.
ABOUT GOLDEN COMPASS
The Compass is an instrument that has helped provide guidance and navigation to mankind for generations, a natural choice for a company whose primary function is to help guide the meetings and events of its clients. Metaphorically, the points of the compass have come to bear significant meaning over time. “North” represents interpersonal connections and possibilities while “South” embodies passion and the opportunities of the present. “East” signifies new beginnings and the future while “West” holds a strong connection to the past.
The Golden Compass, in folklore, was a magical device that took the one who held it anywhere they wanted to go, at any time, and in the most exciting, effective and efficient means possible. This is our ideal at Golden Compass. Incredible events, the highest attention to detail, and the most amazing experiences possible.
All of these elements are the hallmarks of our company:
-
- TRUST – through strong personal connections and a commitment to innovation
- TRANSPARENCY – A drive to insure that every new day greets your most precious resource, your people, with a quality experience.
- INNOVATION – Constantly striving to find new ways to serve the needs of our customers, while never forgetting those things that have brought us to where we are.
- EXPERIENCE – We have been doing fantastic events around the world for years and look forward to doing the same for you!
