We don't follow the standard - we set it
Travel Connections reaches for the extra-ordinary in our delivery of travel services. Through our high touch attention to detail, we aim to take you further, providing a stress-free travel experience at the best possible cost.
Travel Connections doors were opened in 1988, by two extremely innovative business women with a passion for travel. They wanted to focus on the best way to service both corporate and leisure clients by providing that high touch service for each and every traveller. Managing Director and founding member, Lindy Preston, ensures that her team still delivers that exceptional personal service that Travel Connections has become renowned for by both clients and suppliers alike.
Over 31 years the organisation has grown from strength to strength, retaining its many corporate clients in the legal, financial, insurance and mining sectors. Travel Connections has built a reputation for providing a specialised high-end leisure service to our loyal travellers too.
Through our success, Travel Connections joined the Bidvest Group of Companies namely BidTravel. Joining BidTravel has afforded Travel Connections clients some of the best techonology, fares and rates the industry has to offer.
