In December of 1968, Vincenzo Conenna opened Venus Travel Agency in one of Chicago's oldest Italian neighborhoods on Belmont Avenue. His dedication, hard work and desire to own a successful business paid off.

In 1977, I joined my dad to help build the agency and keep the tradition alive. It has been 42 years since Vincenzo first put that key in the door to unlock a dream. Our family has been dedicating their energy and life to providing each client a unique travel experience and ensuring that each trip planned is a treasured experience.

I am very proud and honored by my father’s efforts and accomplishments and without him, my own success could have never been possible. To this day, you can still find the 85-year-old founder sitting at his desk, keeping a close watch over his prized possession.

To each and every one of our clients, friends and family, we thank you for your continued support and dedication.

- John F. Conenna, President
