Our Story

The innovative, entrepreneurial spirit that Travel Counsellors was founded on over 20 years ago is as life-changing now as it was then. Travel Counsellors was born out of the desire to serve customers with the best travel experiences possible, and to create inspiring career opportunities for people who have a passion for travel.

Now operating as a truly international business across seven countries including The UAE, we’ve come a long way since we were founded in England in 1994.
