A lot has changed since I started in the travel industry more than 40 years ago. Package holidays were about the only way to go. A charter flight, transfer and traditional hotels, herded in a group was the only way to do it. We are now lucky to have a wealth of information and facilities at our finger tips to put together bespoke and tailor-made itineraries to places we once could only dream of. Having only worked for an independent agency, I have seen the advantages of being able to sell a holiday to somebody that will suit THEM rather than because it suits the agency. We listen to what our client’s preferences are and find something we hope will suit their needs and fulfil their wish list. We love challenges and relish a tailormade itinerary. From UK weekends to luxury long-haul, flight only and accommodation only – whatever it is, we pride ourselves on providing customer service.
I have travelled fairly extensively over the years, both on my own holidays and on travel agent familiarisation trips, both long and short haul.
Kalkan in Turkey is one of my favourite places in the world and I holiday there frequently.
Australia is a great passion of mine and like nothing better than an Australian itinerary to work on. I am very lucky to have been able to experience sailing in Sydney harbour, been in a hot air balloon over Cairns and flown in a helicopter, these opportunities helped me gain a Premier Aussie status several years ago. Australia is such a vast country I am always hoping for further visits.
Too many islands to mention but each so different, the Caribbean makes a fabulous holiday in our winter months especially. Cruising is a great idea to choose your favourite should you wish to return for a one or two centre.
