For more than three decades, Travlin Style has been a familiar name on the high street, with its physical shop forming the cornerstone of its identity. According to Vikesh and Alpa Shah, Directors of Travlin Style, this visible presence is what makes the agency instantly recognisable to clients and deeply rooted in the local community.
“In a world full of uncertainty and online scams, there’s a huge sense of reassurance for customers in being able to meet their travel consultant face-to-face,” says Alpa. “Booking a holiday is one of the most exciting and important purchases people make, often involving significant sums of money. That human interaction builds trust, offers security, and allows us to share in the excitement of planning something special.”
Travelin Style believes that the physical environment of a travel agency still matters greatly. Smart shopfronts, clear signage, and well-presented displays help create a welcoming first impression that draws people in. Yet, Vikesh and Alpa insist, it is the people inside who truly make a travel agency stand out.
“Looking ahead, we believe the high street travel agency has a strong future,” they add. “At a time when many businesses are moving towards faceless, digital-only interactions, customers increasingly value the human touch. Our clients want personal service, local expertise, and the confidence that comes from knowing exactly who they’re trusting with their holiday plans.”
