Travelsmart for the 50+

We do not remember days, we remember moments -
Cesare Pavase

There is something very special about holidays. They create those moments we fondly recall in the months and years long after they have finished.

Holidays are something to get excited about, to savour the planning of, to look forward to and to share before, during and long after.

The planning of a holiday should be a magical experience of discovering what’s possible. It’s about pouring over brochures with inspiring images and learning of the options that only the locals know about.

Finding people you have total confidence in who can not only advise you but share your enthusiasm and passion is not an easy process. There are so many travel agency brands we understand that it is hard to know where to start.

Travelsmart has been operating since 1988. We are a unique travel franchise where the owners are shareholders in the brand which creates a pride unrivalled in the industry. We have stores throughout New Zealand from Queenstown in the south to Whangarei in the north.

Through our website www.travelsmart.co.nz and the level of service we provide, many of our clients live rurally or in areas where we don’t have a Travelsmart store.











Our staff live and breathe travel and have done for decades. One of the special aspects of our staff is their genuine love for travel. They have the experience to provide you with the best advice to create your dream holiday.

We specialise in providing a personalised approach where one size certainly doesn’t fit all! Our staff take time to understand exactly what type of holiday you are after and then explain the variety of amazing options available, right down to how you might travel.

We specialise in small group tours and have a number of companies we work with across the different continents. This is a fantastic way to travel with no more than 16 people in a group and an escort who knows the places you visit intimately. This allows you to see the main tourist highlights plus those special spots only the locals know about.














Canal boating, walking and bike touring, renting a villa with friends or family, are very popular options for 2010 as is what is termed ‘intergenerational’ holidays. Fortunately this concept while clinical in its name brings the most wonderful memories, where grandparents, parents and grandchildren have time in a relaxed environment together. There are so many destinations to choose from where everyone’s needs are catered for and our staff can certainly provide you with options.

It is these very holidays that create those special moments that we remember forever.











Cruising is continually growing in popularity every year. The appeal of unpacking once, seeing a number of places in a relaxed way, the huge variety of options from small to large ships, river cruising, island hopping to traversing the open seas, plus it is a very cost effective holiday.

We have a number of cruise specialists who are internationally qualified to assist you work out what is the right cruise for you.

You are now at a time in your life where hopefully there is time to travel and experience the charm it brings. We would love nothing more than to share our passion for travel with you.
