In 1988, a group of school friends from Philadelphia formed a vocal harmony group. By the early 1990s, their signature vocals and a cappella harmonies had made Boyz II Men a household name. Boyz II Men (B2M) is the best-selling R&B group of all time, selling 64 million albums and garnering fans across all generations. Part of their busy touring schedule includes performing for HGV Ultimate Access events*, such as HGV Live! and HGV Presents as Hilton Grand Vacations Brand Ambassadors.
For Hilton Grand Vacations Owners, the result of these performances and intimate meet and greets is nothing short of a once-in-a-lifetime travel experience. One of Boyz II Men's past performances, the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, an annual HGV Presents event stands out.
“I’ve wanted to see Boyz II Men for 30 years. I’ve loved these guys since the early 90s — Motown Philly — and they come back on stage and do all their hits. So, I couldn’t wait to see it. It’s incredible,” explained one attendee enthusiastically.
With more than 4,000 shows annually, HGV Live! affords Owners various opportunities to see their favorite artists. At one of their recent HGV Live! performances in Orlando, Boyz II Men chatted with us about travel and offered some of their celebrity travel tips.
Here’s what we learned from the globe-trotting trio.
Celebrity Travel Tips From Boyz II Men
HGV: As a group of friends with a lot of history, what’s it like traveling together so much?
B2M: Lots and lots of inside jokes.
HGV: What’s your go-to packing style?
B2M: Pack light. If you can avoid going to baggage claim, try and do that. For example, try to get toiletries when you arrive and try using one pair of shoes for all your outfits.
HGV: Of all the places that you’ve performed, what’s the most underrated destination you’ve visited?
B2M: Small-city USA. Like the one-horse towns with one stoplight — poppin’. So when we come, the whole town comes out.
HGV: What’s your favorite travel destination of all time?
B2M: There are so many, honestly. Japan, Australia, Dubai, Indonesia, Philippines.
