Club Travel is a travel agency that was established by Wally Gaynor in 1987. Initially a single agency, the company now operates 3 leisure branches, 46 franchises and has 99 independent consultants. By negotiating fares with top airlines, hotels, car hire companies, etc, Club Travel is driven by the philosophy of always trying to get the best possible deal for the client. The company has won several travel awards for their service, including the Golden Arrow Award for the Most Professional Travel Agency in the Western Cape as well as Africa’s Leading Travel Agency at the World Travel Awards for 4 consecutive years amongst others.
In addition to catering for individual needs, Club Travel also looks after business travel interests. The Club Corporate section of the company ensures that any and all business travel needs are looked after so that you can conduct your business affairs without the hassle of having to organize your travelling. Because of the convenience and cost-effectiveness of the agency, Club Corporate has become a major player in the field of corporate travel.
