“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.”
