History
A wish to improve young people's cultural understanding after the Second World War led student organisations in several Nordic countries to establish travel agencies. These, DIS rejser in Denmark, SFS Resebyrå in Sweden, Univers Reiser in Norway and Travela in Finland, cooperated in purchasing and distributing travel products under the name Scandinavian Student Travel Services, SSTS, from the early 50's and eventually merged in 1991 to become KILROY travels. KILROY travels was launched in the Netherlands in 1996 and an Icelandic website opened for business in 2009. KILROY education was established in Sweden in 2004 and the services were available to all regional markets by 2008.
