The pandemic, although tough for many, was a great lesson into how we can all work differently, yet provide value for our customers. No longer do we have to be chained to a desk in a specific location 24/7, work to a traditional 9 to 5, or even be in the same location geographically. We now have the technology and courage to do things better.

We realised even before the pandemic there would be a shift in consumer behaviour, and have introduced initiatives such as our ‘Anytime Service’ where we guarantee to answer the phone or email, outside of standard office hours, our online ‘Virtually Anywhere’ series streamed live on YouTube and our extremely successful weekly Journal email – distributed to two-thousand people every Friday detailing the lastest travel news, company events and features.

Now we’re ready to open the platform we have created over the last thirty years to other like-minded ‘Travel Maestros’, with a competitive remote-working offering. We are a member of ABTA (F2256) and Advantage, as you would expect, and we have a name that is renowned and respected throughout the industry.

We’re a small team and will remain a small team, therefore you won’t be a number or a statistic.  You’ll have direct access to the decision-makers, admin team and training providors.

We don’t believe money should be a barrier for anyone, which is why we don’t charge an upfront fee. Only on our highest level do we charge ongoing monthly charges.

Through our membership of Advantage, and our own additional commercial arrangements we have excellent deals right across the industry.

We are recognised as one of the leading travel agencies in the country, having received awards from Travel Weekly, TTG, TTG Luxury, Advantage, Caribtours and Classic Collection Holidays.

TravelTime World was founded by local couple Jackie and David Steadman in 1994, opening their first travel shop on Berkhamsted High Street. More than thirty years later, we’re still proudly independent and based in the town we call home. What started as a small local agency has grown into an award-winning travel business, built around something that has never changed: honest, informed and impartial advice from people who genuinely know and love travel.

The travel industry has changed almost beyond recognition since 1994. The internet, low-cost airlines, social media and the rise of online booking have transformed the way people research and buy holidays. But we’ve never believed that technology could replace experience, relationships or knowing your clients properly. We’ve evolved with the industry rather than simply followed it, combining decades of first-hand travel experience with trusted relationships throughout the industry to find the right holiday for each individual client.

Today, TravelTime World is what we like to call a Modern Travel Agency. It means bringing together expertise, personal service, value, care and a more thoughtful approach to travel. Increasingly, that also means considering the impact of the holidays we recommend from supporting local communities and protecting wildlife to encouraging lower-impact ways of travelling. Our commitment to responsible travel has become an important part of who we are, and was recognised when we were named the UK’s Top Luxury Responsible Travel Agent in the TTG Luxury Top 20 Travel Agencies Awards.

We’ve changed a lot since 1994, but the reason we’re here hasn’t. We believe choosing a holiday should involve more than finding the right price. It’s about understanding what you want, using our experience to find the right fit and being there to look after you before, during and after your trip. Ultimately, it’s about doing what we’ve always done – putting the client first.
