Eighteen years building travel the hard way
From a Brickell office in 2008 to a portfolio of travel brands for Hispanic families. TravelMania didn't inherit its reputation — it earned it, one chapter at a time.

Our Mission
Customer satisfaction, always first
It's our golden rule and it's non-negotiable: before the margin, before the sale, comes the satisfied customer. Everything else is built on that — and when something goes off-script, we answer for it, not the customer.
24/7 Concierge
Solutions Desk
Our DNA is executed through the Solutions Desk: a team designed to assign every traveler a concierge available 24/7 for ANY need — a midnight flight change, a last-minute booking, or an emergency thousands of miles from home.
- Before the trip
- During the trip
- After the trip
Our determination
At TravelMania we are determined that no Hispanic family ever feels alone planning a trip again. From the first hello to the trip back home, we answer for every detail.

Board of Directors
Who Stands Behind the Work
Eighty combined years across travel, advertising, operations, finance, and technology. Not a wall of résumés — judgment earned twice over.
Harry A. Froget
Founder & CMO
Harry opened his first travel company in Miami at 19, on Brickell Avenue. Eighteen years and one pattern later — find the underserved market, build the operation behind it, stand behind the product — that approach has produced Play Advertising, Beachwood Santo Domingo (2014–2020), the Roc Luxe hospitality brand, TravelCloud, and in 2026 Vía Getaways. As Founder & CMO, he runs the brand strategy that ties every chapter together.

Fernando Bauza
Chairman, Consultant & Compliance Officer
Fernando Bauza came up in vacation ownership sales in the 1990s and built the Bau-Ben Group out of it — a fulfillment and brokerage operation that bridged vendors and resorts at industry scale. Decades inside the business have made his judgment the anchor of every operational decision we make. He's also a C-suite executive at Everyware, a merchant processing company. On the TravelMania board he wears three hats: Chairman, hands-on consultant, compliance officer.
Maria A. Padron
Director & Consultant
SimpleCare Insurance · Simple Tax
Founder of Simple SolutionsMaria graduated number one in her class with a doctorate in Computer Science from Universidad Central de Venezuela in 1984. Two decades at PDVSA. In 2002 she restarted from zero in the United States. Eleven years ago, after weathering the 2008 mortgage crisis without abandoning a single client, she founded Sunlife Insurance — today Simple Solutions — and grew it past 4,000 active customers. What she brings to the TravelMania board is the operational discipline of someone who has done this twice, from scratch.
