Luxury Travel Director
Ritz Carlton Abama, View From My Tagor Villa
My travel career began over 20 years ago when I joined one of the UK’s leading Tour Operators. During my 11 years there I travelled extensively across the globe and gained valuable product knowledge.
Colletts Travel were one of my key accounts, their passion and success in selling luxury lured me to join the company in 2007, I haven’t looked back since!
Our relationship with many of the finest brands worldwide allows me to provide my clients with the very best price. We contract directly with several hotels globally so I can usually beat competitors and online prices. Being both ABTA & ATOL bonded also means your holiday is in the safest hands with me.
If you normally book hotels directly, why not allow me to do the reservation on your behalf, I can enhance your stay via our own SELECT Program, or through Virtuoso. You can still pay the hotel directly upon departure, however, booking with me I can include room upgrades, hotel credits, daily breakfast and more, please do ask me for further details.
I pride myself on delivering outstanding service, being as flexible as possible & ensuring you get the dream holiday you deserve.
If you haven’t booked with Colletts Travel before, now is the time, please allow me to show you how we differ from our competitors.
Thank you for your time, I look forward to being of assistance to you, your family and friends.

It has indeed been a difficult year, although we are used to these challenges following the sad events of the past. This is why it is so important to have your own personal travel consultant who you can trust! Here's to many more luxurious trips Mrs.Blausten, and thank you sincerely for allowing me the honour of being your agent of choice. With kindest regards, Martin

A knowledgeable, customer focussed travel advisor
Reviewed By ecugkq30 - London | Traveled to Spain ~ Europe
Martin was highly effective at getting us a good deal on our stay with IKOS, and also incredibly helpful in moving us when the hotel we originally booked was not going to be ready on time. We have come back to him again to book our IKOS stay next year, and are in the process of also using his expertise to finalise options for an upcoming stay in Cape Town. I would highly recommend Martin.
