Directors Comment

We are a people business, our people are our most valuable asset..they are both well used clichés but are so very true. Like in most industries, the travel industry is experiencing unprecedented challenges in attracting 'good' people. This is compounded by the fact that our industry is perceived to be poorly remunerated (but what about the 'perks' I here you say...) and the perception that we are/will be a technology focussed industry, rendering many people obsolete. I’m delighted to share with you that Travelogic is and always will be a people focussed business. To deliver true customer service you must have great people. Technology, buying power can drive efficiencies but ultimately it’s the people that support these initiatives. Our 'Work/Life' Committee is an essential part of our business that encourages our people to contribute in driving staff well being which in turn drives passionate customer service. Consequently Travelogic has one of the lowest staff turnover ratios in the travel industry.
