Alison Hackett
Cobham
Designer Travel Expert
Since July 2021
Hi!
My name is Alison Hackett and I live in Cobham, Surrey.
Travel is my absolute passion, so 20 years ago following a successful career in the retail industry, marriage and 2 children later, I decided to follow my dream and combine my wealth of travel expertise, with my sound commercial bite, to establish myself as an Independent Travel Agent.
In my youth I back packed around the world, took the slow boat to China and even trekked to Machu Picchu.Then with my partner I have enjoyed some fun and romantic escapes to places like Italy, Hawaii and Thailand, with New Zealand and Fiji ultimately proving the perfect destination for our wonderful honeymoon.
With children our travel plans changed a little! In the early years we visited numerous European and long-haul beach destinations; Mauritius and Koh Samui being particular favourites. Then as the children have grown up, we have preferred more experiential and adventurous journeys to places like Vietnam, Sri Lanka, and most recently Slovenia, which is a real hidden gem, just stunningly beautiful.
I love to explore and find new places of interest or activities to recommend on to my clients. I pride myself on delivering exceptional customer service whilst achieving outstanding value for my discerning clients; indeed each enquiry is treated as if it were my own. Over 90% of my business comes from repeat/referred custom, which hopefully speaks for itself!
As Designer Travel are totally independent, we have relationships with all the large tour operators, as well as many small specialist operators you cannot find in high street travel agents. We also have access to a huge portfolio of worldwide hotels, flights, and car hire firms; so there really is no restriction on the kind of holiday, tailormade journey or leisure experience Designer Travel can arrange for you. By using my service, you really do have the best of both worlds; an unrivalled personal service, combined with extremely competitive prices delivered through our industry partnerships and low overheads. Allow me to make booking your next holiday, a stress-free pleasurable experience.
Please do give me a call or send an email today.
