History
BCD was founded in 1975 by John Fentener van Vlissingen as a real estate management company, Property Management Advisory Services, with founding capital of US$10,000 and 2 employees. In 1976, van Vlissingen left his job at Pierson, Heldring & Pierson to focus exclusively on his company, which opened an office in Atlanta that year and changed its name to Noro Management Inc. BCD became deeply involved in real estate development in the Atlanta metro area, including shopping malls and office complexes.
In 1986, in anticipation of diversification, Noro was spun off and the remaining company was renamed BCD. The company entered the travel industry in 1987 with the acquisition of WorldTravel Advisors, an Atlanta-based travel management company, and of off-airport parking operation Park 'N Fly in 1988.
