Globe Travel Centre began its journey in 2006 in a town in the UK with the launch of Kerala Travel Centre, the first dedicated 'Travel Centre' offering tailor-made holidays designed by local travel experts based at the destination. Building on the success of this model, we now provide a selection of worldwide destinations through dedicated travel centres that deliver the same in-depth understanding of traveler needs, combined with unmatched local expertise and personalized service.
We realised that when it comes to regional expertise, no one could match the knowledge of local experts. We set up our first local office in Cochin, Kerala, which is manned by some of the most passionate and experienced experts who know the region like the back of their hands.
Our local offices ensure that you get the best possible experience of the destination and enjoy its finer nuances. Today every destination we offer (whether it be the rest of India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, or Cambodia) is supported by local experts based in the destination.
So while we are headquartered in the UK and have other International offices, all your expertise comes direct from regional experts in our local destination offices.
Our central philosophy revolves around treating clients like our personal guests - so in everything we do, we ensure that our clients get the most professional and personalised experiences.
From the level of detail that our experts go into when designing your tailor made holiday experiences to every aspect of your actual holiday, we endeavour to provide you with what we would have wanted for our personal guests.
Our drivers are called 'Chauffeurs & Travel Companions', our guides are called 'Friends, Philosophers & Guides' and our Guest relations staff are called 'Guest Experience Managers' for a reason.
Our unique business model (where, while we are headquartered in the UK but our regional offices are at the destination) not only provides you with the best expertise, the most professional services and employment for local experts but also enables us to provide you with the most competitive holiday prices.
We do not cut any corners that will compromise a client's holiday experience, yet we can guarantee that for the kind of holiday we offer, we will not be beaten by any UK based Tour operator.
We are purpose-driven about being a sustainable travel brand that not only offsets our carbon footprint but also turns travel into a force for good.
The holidays we design include carefully chosen sustainability-focussed accommodation, eco-friendly practices, and meaningful opportunities that benefit the local communities.
Every time you book a holiday, we support various climate change adaptation and mitigation projects at the destination you are travelling to.
Besides providing the best holiday experiences, we want our business to truly and tangibly benefit the destinations we offer.
We therefore have a policy that for every client who books a holiday with us, we donate, from our profits- towards specific projects at the destination.
Not only that we offer those clients who are interested, the opportunity to hand over the donation while on holiday, making it a fulfilling experience for them.
