THE travel bug has bitten the entire Philippines, with more and more families and young professionals taking time off of their busy schedules for a few days every year to explore and roam around, not just the country, but even abroad.
Carlos Castells, the founder of one of the pioneering travel agencies in Iloilo City, attests to this as Amigo Travel and Tours celebrates 23 years of its signature friendly customer care, and service that doesn’t hesitate to go the extra mile this 2018.
Founded in June 5, 1995, Amigo Travel and Tours commemorates more than two decades of trailblazing in the Iloilo travel agency industry today, standing the test of time by consistently offering seamless quality services – winning a dozens of awards and citations from major airlines, both here and abroad, along the way.
For three straight years – from 2014 to 2016, Amigo Travel and Tours was awarded the “No. 1 Top Producer” in Iloilo recognition by Cathay Pacific. The leading travel agency has also won Cebu Pacific’s “Eagle Wings” award, while also receiving accolades from Delta Air Lines, Northwest Airlines, and Philippine Airlines.
Castells attributes their longevity and much of their success to the insider insight he’s collected as a former employee of a major airline, before he put up his own travel agency. He shares that he seeks to apply what he’s learned to ensure his customers get the best deals on their plane tickets and get the most out of their vacations and trips.
Amigo Travel and Tours’ wide-ranging tour packages for both local and international destinations at the right rates – and without hidden charges – also keep their clients coming back.
