About Us

Our founder, Mel Atwood, coined the term H.I.C.K during an address to independent travel agents during an international conference in January of 2005.  His topic?  "Putting Relationships Back Into Marketing."  During the course of his presentation he outlined 4 key elements to keep in mind when developing ones business, during marketing, and when working with clients.  These keys are in our name!

Honesty Integrity Charity Kindness

Our mission is to provide a structure of self-monitoring of solid business practice.  Through voluntary agreement and our commitment program, members make an agreement that they will do business with Honesty, Integrity, Charity, and Kindness.
