Delaware North veteran Scott Socha has been selected to lead Delaware North’s travel division. Bob Wilson, who had served as group president since 2021, will leave Delaware North at the end of January.
Socha has been a group president since 2017, also oversees the parks and resorts business and company operations in Australia. Socha previously led the travel division from 2019 to 2021. During that time, he oversaw the acquisition of Creative Food Group, which expanded the company’s travel portfolio by 35 restaurants across five airports.
“With Scott’s leadership overseeing both subsidiaries, we’ll better realize an end-to-end guest experience as travelers pass through the airports on their way to national parks and attractions,” said Amy Latimer, executive vice president and chief operating officer of Delaware North. “There are some inherent synergies between our travel and parks businesses, including the need for a keen understanding of partnership with various divisions of government. This is an area where Scott has excelled in leading our parks business.”
In his role overseeing the parks and resorts division, Socha provides strategic direction and ensures that short- and long-term plans are in place to drive business and enhance the company’s destination properties. The parks and resorts subsidiary provides hospitality services in seven national parks, three state parks, operates Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex for NASA, owns and operates lodging in five national park gateway communities, and owns and operates several other hotels and resorts.
Before assuming his role as a group president, Socha spent six years as a vice president and Delaware North’s treasurer, overseeing financial planning and analysis, treasury and risk management across all divisions.
