About Alison

My travel career began at a retail travel agency, and over the years I furthered my career as Office Supervisor and Office Manager with Harvey World Travel. I joined MTA TRAVEL in 2009 as a home-based Travel Consultant after relocating to sunny Queensland. I chose this business model as it enabled me the dream of owning my own business with the ability to work around my family. I am now into my 14th year with MTA TRAVEL.

Over the last 31 years, I have travelled extensively. I have travelled to destinations: Maldives, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, Singapore, Egypt, Indonesia (Bali & Lombok), Vanuatu, Fiji, New Zealand, USA (East Coast, West Coast, Hawaii & Caribbean), Canada, Europe, and Mexico. Many of my travels have been spent with my family, so I see myself as an expert in planning family vacations. Now that they are growing up, it is full circle for me, and its back to more luxurious trips with my husband.

The benefit of running my own Travel Business and being affiliated with MTA - Mobile Travel Agents is that I'm available to my clients regularly. I pride myself on giving the highest personalized service at all times.

I specialise in cruise holidays, luxury, corporate & group travel which can involve arranging a VIP First Class trip around the world or cruises for family reunion groups. My work experience is exceptionally diverse.
The benefit of running my own Travel Business and being a member of MTA - Mobile Travel Agents is that I am affiliated with Cruiseco, Virtuoso, Belmond Bellini Club, Virgin Galactic & ATAS.

I pride myself on giving the highest personalized service at all times. Due to this, I have been a MTA Travel Platinum consultant over the last few years, an achievement I am very proud of. Not only do you have the benefits of booking with an experienced travel expert, but I also have the knowledge base of a great team of support staff and access to 24/7 emergency services should any problems arise.

Consider me to be your own Personal Travel Specialist!
