-  By Rhick Lars Vladimer Albay

“THIS company was born out of passion, a company for travelers by a traveler,” shares Bep Chavez, the 22-year-old founder of Journeys & Beyond Travel Services.

Journeys & Beyond offers a diverse slate of services, always responsive to the needs of their clientele in bringing personal travel goals and bucket list dreams to reality. A traveler himself, Chavez seeks to tap into his own personal travel experience­s to deliver only the best to their customers.

The up-and-coming startup offers the following services:

Domestic and internatio­nal ticketing, offering the best fares for both domestic carriers and internatio­nal airlines.

Tour packages and land arrangemen­ts, with their expanding list of exciting and popular destinatio­ns all over the world.

Group tours and pilgrimage­s, offering guided tours to domestic and internatio­nal destinatio­ns – among them pilgrimage­s to the Holy Land and excursions around Europe.

Cruises, specializi­ng in planning cruise vacations to all the continents and offering firsthand advice about the different cruise options to match their clients’ lifestyle and budget.

Passport processing, offering assistance and processing of passports for new applicatio­ns, as well as renewal services.

Visa assistance, providing help in securing visas for tour destinatio­ns in Asia, Europe, Australia, America and Africa – ensuring your chances of being granted a visa for travel purposes.

Hotels, with numerous partner hotels and accommodat­ions suited to the different needs of their clientele.

Airport transfers and car rentals, providing car rentals and airport transfers for safe and secure arrangemen­ts in destinatio­ns covered by their tour packages.

“Ilonggos have this innate desire to travel,” shares Chavez. “But we’re also known to be very thrifty. Journeys & Beyond offers competitiv­e prices for our services and tours, so that more Ilonggos can jump at the opportunit­y to travel and explore the world.”

The young businessma­n boasts of their innovative group tours as Journeys & Beyond’s main edge against the competitio­n, offering allinclusi­ve services so that travelers can sit back, relax, and enjoy their destinatio­ns – no longer needing to worry about the nitty-gritty of their trip and leaving the small stuff for the company to handle.

“We’re very hands- on in pampering and taking care of our customers. With our allinclusi­ve group tours, you don’t have to worry about your meals, your accommodat­ions, and your transfers. Everything will be taken care by Journeys & Beyond.”

Among their upcoming group tours are trips to South Korea with their “Seoul-fully in Love” and “Cherry Blossom Memories” packages, European excursions in “Treasures of Europe” and “7 Highlights of Europe,” and an astonishin­g three-country pilgrimage to the Holy Land this coming Feb. 25 to March 10, 2017.

The “A Pilgrimage to the Holy Land” package includes tours to Israel, Jordan, and Egypt and will visit such wondrous destinatio­n as the Dead Sea, Mt. Zion, Bethlehem, and the Old City of Jerusalem. The package includes round- trip airline tickets, 4-star hotel accommodat­ions in Jordan, Israel and Egypt, full-board meals, a licensed English- speaking guide, and the supervisio­n of chaplain Rev. Fr. Kenneth Ezpeleta, among other services.

“Unlike other travel agencies where they only offer you a tour, we at Journeys & Beyond always see to it that we go the extra mile for our clients, beyond what they’re asking,” added Chavez. “We envision Journeys & Beyond to someday become a household name in travel services – providing fuss-free, personaliz­ed and exciting travels, with value added services, making journeys that go beyond expectatio­ns.”
