Hi, I’m Phil. I’m the founder of Creative Travel…”
It Started With One Phone Call…
It wasn’t the holiday we’d planned.
A hurricane had swept through the Caribbean, devastating the island we were due to visit.
Flights were changing.
Hotels had closed.
Everything we’d carefully planned had suddenly become uncertain.
So we made one phone call to our travel advisor.
Within a short time everything had been rearranged.
Our stay was extended.
Our flights home were changed.
The stress disappeared.
We were able to enjoy our holiday knowing someone else was looking after everything.
Sitting on that beach in St Lucia, we had a simple thought.
“Imagine being able to do this for other people.”
That moment became the beginning of Creative Travel.
Today, every holiday we arrange is built around that same philosophy.
When everything goes perfectly, we’re delighted.
When life throws the unexpected your way, we’re only ever a phone call away.
Why We Created Creative Travel
For more than twenty years we’ve been passionate travellers ourselves.
We’ve explored over twenty countries and spend around three months every year discovering new destinations, revisiting old favourites and experiencing the world first-hand.
Those journeys have taught us something valuable.
The best holidays aren’t remembered because they were expensive.
They’re remembered because every detail came together perfectly.
Because someone found the hotel you’d never have discovered.
Because the cruise exceeded expectations.
Because everything simply worked.
That’s exactly what inspired Creative Travel.
We wanted to offer people more than a booking service.
We wanted to become the trusted person they turn to whenever they’re ready for their next adventure.
Because we believe travel should inspire, excite and enrich your life—not leave you stressed before you’ve even packed your suitcase.
Creative Travel wasn’t created because we wanted to sell holidays. It was created because travel has shaped our own lives in ways we’ll never forget.
From the freedom of exploring New Zealand by campervan, to celebrating our wedding in Grenada, to experiencing first-hand the reassurance that a trusted travel advisor can provide when plans change unexpectedly—we discovered that the greatest journeys aren’t defined by where you go, but by how they make you feel.
This is the philosophy on which Creative Travel was founded.
