Experience the sights and sounds of NZ

-

The coronaviru­s may be affecting internatio­nal travel, but the holiday options in our own backyard are increasing by the day.

In fact, there has never been a better time than now to experience the sights and sounds of the magnificen­t country we call home.

It is also a great time to pop into Travelsmar­t Palmerston North and talk to the team about your present and future travel plans.

Michele Gullery, Margaret Scott and Shelley Foale are all on hand to discuss holiday options nationally, and across the globe for when the borders are open for internatio­nal travel to commence.

‘‘We all love travel, and right now, have a serious case of itchy feet’’, says Michele.

‘‘Margaret loves to cruise and can’t wait to get back on board. Shelley is our groups expert, and I do a bit of everything.

‘‘Our tagline is dream, plan, enjoy – you dream, we plan, you enjoy.’’

Michele purchased Travelsmar­t Palmerston North from its previous owners in 2009, but has worked there for 21 years. Margaret has been part of the team for the past 16 years, and Shelley 9 years.

‘‘We are truly your local – totally locally owned and operated.

‘‘We all love travel, and right now, have a serious case of itchy feet. Margaret loves to cruise and can’t wait to get back on board. Shelley is our groups expert, and I do a bit of everything.’’

Michele Gullery, owner, Travelsmar­t Palmerston North.

‘‘The office has been in Terrace End since 1993 – formerly on Ruahine Street.

‘‘We moved literally 200 metres around the corner to the Broadtop Shopping Centre in 2012.’’

The location is ideal for customers as they can enjoy free parking right outside the door.

Michele, Margaret and Shelley are passionate about the travel industry and thoroughly enjoy helping customers with their travel plans, whether it’s simply a weekend getaway or a long-awaited O.E.

‘‘Our clients become our friends and we get a buzz when their dream comes together,’’ they say.
