The journey to design travel was started in 1999 with a small but dynamic team, as an Outbound Tour operator offering short haul destinations.
A few years ago, the idea of representing a country locally was a concept only a few knew of, and even fewer had heard of. If travel agents wanted any information about a destination, they conducted their own study, did price comparisons, and asked relatives & friends, if they visited that destination for some sort of reference.

But the obstacles remained persistent - time difference, cost and language barriers. They faced difficultly in contacting tourism offices in destinations abroad for smooth coordination. Therefore, travel agents wished for an easier way out, an intermediary that would be a one-stop solution tending to all their queries and needs regarding a specific destination or the whole world. Travel Designer group came as an answer at a time when exclusive representation of destinations was merely a concept and not much of a reality.
