We do things differently at World Travellers.
World Travellers does things a little bit differently. The group was founded in 2009 by travel industry professionals who wanted to create a new way of doing travel. We do things differently because:
We’re a co-operative.
We’re Kiwi owned and operated.
We’re travel experts.
A Co-Operative Model
Unlike other travel agencies, we’re a co-operative. This means that each one of our stores around the country is independently owned and operated by Kiwis just like you. As a result, when you deal with a World Travellers store or consultant, you’re dealing with genuine, down-to-earth people who share your passion for travel.
There are no big corporate hoops to jump through or meaningless marketing jargon. Our consultants just want to help you plan the best holiday for you
Kiwi Owned and Operated
World Travellers started in New Zealand and the regions our stores are located. We’re Kiwi through and through! We’re all about community, building long-lasting relationships and putting our customers’ needs first.
Our stores all share these same values, which is why they’re a part of the World Travellers group.
Travel Experts
When you talk to a World Travellers consultant, you’re talking to someone who has actually been there and had a wealth of travel experiences that can help you make the most out of yours. We’ve got consultants who are experts in particular destinations like the South Pacific or Argentina. We’ve also got consultants who specialise in planning certain kinds of trips, like family holidays or solo adventures.
This expertise and knowledge are essential to giving our customers the very best travel experiences, filled with local recommendations and insider tips you won’t get from people who haven’t been to the place you’re going.
Why book your holiday with a travel agent?
This is a question we get a lot these days. After all, with so many online tools available to help you book your trip, why wouldn’t you just do it yourself? Well, there’s a reason that travel agents are still going strong, and why World Travellers is growing.
By using us, we can:
Take away all the hard work
Yes, you could spend hours researching, planning, and booking everything from your airfares to your accommodation and sightseeing activities online. But why not spend that time on the things you enjoy and leave all the nit-picky, time-consuming stuff to us? Things like logistics, travel insurance, car hire and internal flights can take time to organise, but we can do it in a heartbeat.
Use our experience for your benefit
Our consultants are industry professionals and with that comes access to rates only available to them. Added to that, they have a wealth of knowledge from their own travels and those of previous customers they can share with you.
Put bookings on hold for you
If you’ve found a great airfare or hotel but need a bit of time before locking it in, we can reserve a booking for you for 24 hours. This gives you a bit of breathing space and flexibility you won’t get when you do it yourself.
Help you out of a pickle
If something goes wrong, an online booking provider doesn’t have anyone to help you. If you need urgent assistance, we are real people, you can contact us and we’ll do everything we can on our end to sort out your situation and have you back on track in no time.
