COMPACT TRAVELS is more of a tour consulting company and not an agency selling tickets. You walk into the agency with your budget, the time in hand and they help you choose the destination based on factors which goes beyond choosing a mere destination, it is for having an experience of a life time and many clients of COMPACT TRAVELS openly vouch for it.

Whether it is the Mepanis (link on http://www.compacttravels.com/Experi ences/mepanis.asp) who were happy to narrate their Egyptian Holiday whilst travelling as a family after having booked with COMPACT TRAVELS or the 70 years plus Mr Dinesh Balsaver who travelled as a single traveller across South Africa (see link http://www.compacttravels.com/travel-news/travel-sa-oct2005.asp ) that too for 17 days and at less than Rs 70000, each one has their own experience to narrate. Even the Directors like to share their experience through travel diary as is apparent from the travel diary currently on Egypt which is there on their website. Likewise, there is a South African Diary also on the web and so on, thus giving more than mere prices to the clients to help them come to a right decision in matters of choosing the destination.

At the helm of affairs is Subhash Motwani who has over 18 years of travel training experience having completed over 22 IATA qualifications and who has trained the crème-de-la-crème of the industry. Subhash within 2 years of hav ing started COMPACT TRAVELS is already a South Africa Fundi (Expert), an Aussie Specialist, a Kiwi Specialist and recently he has completed four more destination specialization programmes for Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary and Germany. Subhash says that it is important to have first hand knowledge of destination and to offer clients packages which are not only affordable but also away from the run of the mill programmes. For example when our clients go to Egypt or Austria or for that matter any other destination, we give them advise on where they can find Indian restaurants, which are the main shopping locations as well as how to plan their days in a particular city so that their experience of seeing the place is not strenuous but an enjoyable one.

This year Compact Travels is venturing into theme holidays and on the anvil is to offer holidays to destinations which are seen in movies- a kind of Hollywood or a Bollywood tour. To start with Compact Travels gives the trav eller an option not only to see the birth place of Mozart, the famous musician in Salzburg whilst visiting Austria but also take a Sound of Music Tour where the famous epic movie Sound of Music was shot. Likewise, there is the Lord of the Rings tour one can take in New Zealand. Also, special interest tours where you can learn a foreign language in Spain and then take a 6 weeks tour across Spain by train is one of the unique ideas that would be offered to the traveller.

So this summer if you are planning a vacation, check-in first at COMPACT TRAVELS for any of the following destinations Austria, Australia, Brazil, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Egypt, Finland, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Kenya, New Zealand, Poland, South Africa, Spain, Turkey, Tanzania or even your regular Far East or Mauritius and COMPACT TRAVELS may plan a holiday where you may see the great migration of the wildebeest in Africa or the Formula I in Turkey along with having an enjoyable holiday at the same time.
