We’re delighted to serve.
Hi there, I’m Joe, and I helped found World of Travel in 1995. You’ll hear us say, “We offer international group airfare with world-class service,” and we truly mean it. But what does “world-class service” look like in real life? For us, that boils down to:
Providing defect-free service,
communicated in a timely manner,
from a team that truly cares.
Because your groups are jetting off to do incredible things—braving new adventures, solving important problems, and bringing home victories—we consider it a true honor to make it easier to get you where you’re going with confidence.
Planning international group travel isn’t for the faint of heart—there are countless variables and vendors to manage. We believe you deserve at least one thing on your list to be stable and secure. That’s why, over the past few decades, we’ve refined a process that consistently delivers. Our staff, systems, and technology all work together to make your group flights the least of your worries.
Our Staff
We hire for character first, and you'll feel the difference in every phone call and email.
Our Systems
We meticulously check every available itinerary and regularly recheck for better pricing, even after you've made your choice.
Our Technology
Our robust group management tool backs up our humans, so between the two, you never miss a deadline or an opportunity.
We're proud to be trusted by:
If group airfare isn't this easy,
you deserve a better partner.
