Testimonials
Hi David Now back home and just wanted to thank you very much for everything including getting me on the earlier flight out of Paris. I must say I am delighted to finally find a travel agent who really looks after his clients - it was just so nice having everything in place without any problems. Ken and I looking to go o/seas again next year so will be in touch ! Rita
"I have been working with Travel Professionals for almost 2 years in my new position. Travel Professionals consultants have a true knowledge of the Pacific area and their staff are very skilled travel agents.
As the Conference/Events/Travel Coordinator of an International organisation that employs more than 600 staff which brings assistance to all the Pacific Islands Countries (Health, Fisheries, Tropical Agronomy etc.…) I have to approve all travel undertaken by 400 hundred Professionals.
Those Professionals are constantly travelling to either attend conferences or (and mostly) organise conferences, workshops and meetings that will displace hundreds of people annually. Travel Professionals is our preferred travel provider because their consultants understand our needs, not only sourcing the most economic and shortest routes, but also being able to make constant changes to suit the needs of the countries.
Our Senior Leadership Team (SLT) swears by their services, in fact they even bypass me to deal directly with Travel Professionals as they are kind, reactive, often proactive people. Our Organization is known for being difficult to serve as we send our people to the remotest places in the Pacific Islands Countries. Travel Professionals staff have always been extremely patient with us, never said a word against any task we subject them to, they can start and start again, constantly, without a complaint. In one word: no business is too small or too difficult for them.
As our SLT remarked to me once: it’s not enough to have the best airfare, what Travel Professionals provide us is service and peace of mind."
Peggy M (Conference and Travel Coordinator), Noumea / NEW CALEDONIA
"I would like to thank Travel Professionals for their outstanding travel consultancy services.
As an international corporation we live on travel. Our New Zealand office uses Travel Professionals as our one stop shop for everything travel. Our employees regularly request difficult itineraries at short notice and their team have consistently and repeatedly proven their worth. Flights, hotels, rental vehicles, travel consultancy. We have had the pleasure of working with Travel Professionals for over 10 years, during which period their consultants have prepared hundreds of itineraries with thousands of flights.
We are communications experts; Travel Professionals are travel experts. It is best to leave specialty services to the subject matter experts. If it were not for Travel Professionals Team, we would be spending much more time on travel overhead instead of focusing on generating revenue for our company. I highly recommend Travel Professionals, not only for their high level of professionalism, but also the decades of experience. Sometimes a smile is not enough, it needs solid backing, and when it comes to travel – Travel Professionals deliver."
Kenneth A (Regional Support Manager), Auckland/NEW ZEALAND
