The Travel Place

A new travel agency is opening its doors, but for many Syston residents, the faces behind it will be anything but new.
The Travel Place is set to bring fresh energy to the high street, the agency is already generating a buzz—not just for the holidays it promises, but for the familiar team making it all happen. Having previously worked in Syston for many years with another agency, Gemma, Jordanne, Lucy, Sam, and Annabel are well known in the community. They will also be joined by Louise and Phil who bring a wealth of experience helping customers plan everything from quick getaways to once-in-a-lifetime adventures.
That familiarity could prove to be the agency’s greatest strength. In an industry increasingly dominated by online bookings and impersonal deals, there is something reassuring about sitting down with someone who already understands your preferences, your budget, and even your favourite destinations. For many, this new venture won’t feel like starting over—it will feel like picking up exactly where they left off.
As well as organising holidays and cruises with all the popular tour operators such as Jet2Holidays, TUI, P&O Cruises, they also pride themselves on being able to provide fully tailor made, bespoke itineraries , adapted to individual customer requirements. Whether this involves , air travel, sea travel, cruise, rail or car hire in Europe and anywhere else in the world…The Travel Place can deliver.
The team’s reputation has been built on trust, attention to detail, and a genuine passion for travel. Former customers will remember the personal touches: the carefully chosen recommendations, the insider tips, and the sense that no request was too small or too complex. That same approach is expected to carry over into this new chapter, combining their established expertise with a renewed sense of independence and creativity.
Being part of the local community is crucially important to The Travel Place and not only will they be manning a stall at this year’s Syston Fayre in September , but will also be kindly sponsoring the main stage.
Ultimately, this isn’t just the launch of another travel shop. It’s the return of a trusted team, ready to turn their experience into something of their own. And for many Syston locals, that’s reason enough to stop by, say hello, and start planning their next journey.
