Travel Managers<\/h2>\n

Donna, Tracey and Carli have nearly 60 years\u2019 combined experience in the travel industry and are bringing their knowledge straight to you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As part of your local personal Travel Managers team, the ladies are experts in their field and have covered almost every inch of the globe between them.<\/p>\n

Donna Occhipinti is Ocean Grove\u2019s representative, Tracey Lowey is Anglesea\u2019s, and Mount Duneed\u2019s representative is Carli Hester.<\/p>\n

Whether you like them to come to you, visit their offices or meet for a coffee at a local caf\u00e9, a personalised service is guaranteed.<\/p>\n

Although independent business owners, the three ladies work together and look after one another\u2019s clients if the other is on leave.<\/p>\n

All three women appreciate the local support received and in turn strive to give back with local sport sponsorships and charity donations.<\/p>\n

Building incredible tailor-made itineraries alongside valued relationships with clients is paramount to the Travel Managers team.<\/p>\n

An experience where travel plans are just as important to Donna, Tracey and Carli as it is their clients.<\/p>\n

So, whether it\u2019s a honeymoon, your first family holiday, a European extravaganza, a luxury river cruise, African safari, group booking or ticking off your bucket list, you deserve a personal Travel Manager.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
