About us
Globe Travel Centre began its journey in 2005 in a picturesque town in the UK with the launch of Kerala Travel Centre—the first dedicated ‘Travel Centre’ offering tailor-made holidays designed by local travel experts based at the destination. Building on the success of this model, we now provide a selection of worldwide destinations through dedicated travel centres that deliver the same in-depth understanding of traveler needs, combined with unmatched local expertise and personalized service.
What makes travelling with us
Unique
Dedicated Travel Centres
Every destination is offered under a specialist 'Travel Centre'. Every Travel Centre has a team of dedicated regional experts and also offers the most comprehensive information about the region.
(with more than 500 pages on the respective destination and 200+ page region specific brochures that are the largest of their kind in the world).
Local Regional Experts & Offices
We realised that when it comes to regional expertise, no one could match the knowledge of local experts. We set up our first local office in Cochin, Kerala, which is manned by some of the most passionate and experienced experts who know the region like the back of their hands.
Our local offices ensure that you get the best possible experience of the destination and enjoy its finer nuances. Today every destination we offer (whether it be the rest of India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, or Cambodia) is supported by local experts based in the destination.
So while we are headquartered in the UK and have other International offices, all your expertise comes direct from regional experts in our local destination offices.

Holidays that Bring About Real Change
Besides providing the best holiday experiences, we want our business to truly and tangibly benefit the destinations we offer.
We therefore have a policy that for every client who books a holiday with us, we donate, from our profits- towards specific projects at the destination.
Not only that we offer those clients who are interested, the opportunity to hand over the donation while on holiday, making it a fulfilling experience for them.
