Our Story

And Company Profile

Established in 2002 as Kurtz-Ahlers & Associates, our client-first approach is based on our founder’s formula for success and remains an integral part of our DNA. While this ethos remains at the core of who we are, in 2018, we changed our name to Hidden Doorways-A KAA Travel Collection, to better capture the essence of our mission.
