About Us

Your Idea


Every holiday starts with an idea, so we start by listening to what you want




Our Inspiration

Few Travel Agents have the first hand experience we have, and we believe we can add real knowledge to your idea. We make the ordinary extraordinary




The holiday

All this however, is of no use, unless Westway Travel can offer value and my team of specialists on each and every quotation check that they are up to date with the current prices or negotiate special rates with our suppliers to make sure we are competitive




There when you need us

Our advice doesn’t stop with your booking. All our clients get a 24/7 out of hours emergency support


As a consumer, I make decisions daily about the companies and services I buy from. I look for quality and expertise and of course value, not necessarily always the cheapest.


I place a lot of importance on the quality and expertise that these companies can offer me.

I want to buy from somebody I trust.


If you feel the same when you are looking for a travel company to help with your holiday plans, then I believe that Westway Travel has all the virtues you are looking for.


How can I prove this?


During our 50 year history looking after the needs of local people, we have remained successful during economic downturns, global events and the rise of internet shopping.


Our expertise has been the foundation of our service to clients. We continually travel overseas to experience old and new holiday destinations you want to hear about. We have first hand knowledge on the Americas and plan many trips through Asia, Australia and New Zealand. We get onboard as many of the Cruise ships as we can, plus we work closely with all the main European cities and countries which are now heavily featured from your local airports, London Southend.


My team have travelled to new and exciting destinations such as South America, Japan and if you have ever wanted to try India but were worried about what to expect, then don’t worry we can share our happy experiences with you.


Along with our expertise, we control quality by working with a wider selection of tour operators not featured by the large multinational agencies. As members of the Association of Independent Tour operators – AITO, like-minded tour operators create interesting, exciting itineraries and closely inspect them to meet the standards you expect. We also take the stress out of shopping by recommending our own favourites and seeking regular feedback from hundreds of our clients, people like you.


All this however, is of no use unless Westway Travel can offer value and my team of specialists on each and every quotation check that they are up to date with the current prices or negotiate special rates with our suppliers to make sure we are competitive.


50 years of ongoing travel experience doesn’t happen by accident, so if you are looking for someone to trust then give Westway Travel a call or explore our website. Take a look at our client reviews, our Facebook and Instagram pages for up to date holiday ideas or try our interactive holiday search and let us personally recommend a quality holiday for you, your family and friends.


Happy travelling!
