The Travel Agency with a Compassionate Touch - Valerie Wilson

Valerie Wilson, Founder and CEO of Valerie Wilson Travel (VWT), embodies the age-old adage, ‘Necessity is the mother of invention.’ When faced with the challenge of finding a travel agency in England over three decades ago, Valerie took matters into her own hands. Unable to rely on existing options and armed with a passion for travel cultivated through personal experiences, she became her own travel agent, meticulously researching destinations and curating unique experiences.

Driven by a desire to provide tailored travel services, Valerie founded VWT initially as a boutique agency catering to leisure travelers within her social circle. However, the addition of her daughter, Jennifer Wilson-Buttigieg, marked a significant turning point, leading VWT to expand its focus to corporate travel, which now constitutes a substantial portion of its sales.

The evolution into a family-run business, with Valerie's other daughter, Kimberly Wilson Wetty, joining later, underscored VWT's commitment to excellence and personalized service. Despite initially envisioning a small-scale operation, Valerie credits her daughters' contributions for VWT's remarkable growth and industry recognition.

Central to VWT's success is its family-oriented culture, fostering deep connections with clients and partners alike. Collaborations with prestigious entities like Virtuoso further enhance VWT's offerings, leveraging global connections to provide unparalleled luxury travel experiences.

Valerie's philosophy emphasizes integrity, honesty, and personal engagement, qualities that define VWT's approach to client relationships. With a focus on storytelling and genuine connections, VWT's team of Advisors and Associates prioritize client satisfaction above all else.

Looking ahead, Valerie remains confident in VWT's ability to adapt and thrive in a rapidly evolving industry. Embracing disruptions as opportunities for innovation, VWT continues to set the standard for luxury travel, guided by its unwavering commitment to customer service and excellence.

As the industry evolves, VWT's dedication to personalized experiences and exceptional service ensures its enduring success as a leader in luxury travel. With a legacy built on integrity and passion, VWT remains poised to create unforgettable journeys and lasting memories for generations to come.
