Its 29th Years in Business on June 07, 2023
June 06, 2023, Queens NY
This year, Travelspan embarks upon its 29th year in business. From its inception we have always been an innovative trend setting company, with business minded superstars in the aviation sectors like the late George Paulos who as Executive Vice President guided the man behind the name from day one and molding him into the unstoppable force he has become, and together with his wife Pastor Lisa Singh at his side they will led Travelspan to cross another milestone in the history of the company.
For our CEO Nohar Singh, establishing Travelspan in 1994 was a dream, and from that moment when he leased and operated his first 757 aircraft as a charter service from John F Kennedy then from FT. Lauderdale International Airports in the United States to destinations like Puerto Rico, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Grenada, Trinidad & Tobago and Guyana, the company was molded and began to take shape, he went on to leasing 737, 757and 767 , DC 10 to operate scheduled and seasonal charters with some of aviation’s big names like Pace Airlines, Trans Meridian Airlines, North American, Xtra Airways, Universal, Vision and Dynamic Airways to name a few, making it one of the only Travel Agency to also have the privilege of being a Tour & Charter Operator with Airline operations.
Adding to its portfolio, Travelspan also purchased local Travel Agency Amral’s Travel in Trinidad, then launched a fully bookable website travelspan.com in 2007 and opening and operating satellite offices in Guyana, Trinidad, Dominican Republic, and Haiti, making it easier for our customer to benefit from a superior service, for easy follow up and changes.
Travelspan humanitarian arms have spread far and wide over the years, from flying relief supplies to Grenada in 2004 and Guyana in 2005 both times after each country was devastated by Hurricane and flood, to Africa helping to provide a clean source of drinking water, and opening its aircraft doors to almost 200 orphans, many if not all of them getting their first opportunity to be on an aircraft, and had their very first flight. Travelspan also have been a strong believer in community engagements, hosting yearly Mother’s Day or weekly In-flights and office giveaways, to its partnership with many local Newspapers, Promoters and Entertainers sponsoring local shows and artiste, as well as Hoteliers, Tourist Boards and other Airline Partners, it is no wonder the accolades of accomplishments and countless achievements Travelspan has amassed over the years, comes from a diverse group of businesses and organizations like Delta Airlines, Vacations Express, North American Airlines, and the Tobago House of Assemble to name a few.
The management and strong sales and operation staff over the years have helped forged his concept thus allowing CEO Nohar Singh to become the visionary he is today, as he paved new pathways even after the travel industry had endured many challenges and changes in the last decade, Travelspan in lieu of closing its doors, downsized, and CEO Nohar Singh positioned the company to come out stronger than before, this is evident more so in the last three years after surviving the Covid pandemic which caused many agencies and other business ceasing to exist, Travelspan added to its catalogue of escorted tours, and launched a first of its kind all-inclusive vacation package: The Duck Cooking Competition in 2021, this has now come to be a yearly event, cumulating with travelers from many US Cities, Canada, Trinidad & Tobago, Guyana and even as far off as the Netherlands to participate or join in the fun.
The Cooking Competition have been hosted at all-inclusive 4- & 5-star resorts destinations such as Punta Cana, D.R, Cancun MX and this year it will be held at the Sonesta Maho Beach Resort in Sint Maarten. This package includes airfare, transfers, resort stay with all meal and beverages, private entertainment by some of our very own Caribbean artiste and the pièce de résistance the actual Cooking Competition, where the duck is provided by Travelspan and the only thing the contestants have to bring besides their A-Game is your unique seasonings and flavors.
On the heels of that success the Caribbean Throwback All-Inclusive Vacation Packages was launched in 2022 in the Dominican Republic, and once again Travelspan have created a niche vacation package, whereby you can fly off to 4 or 5 start resort and actually have private concert put on just for you by each year by legendary Soca Artiste as in 2021, where we had Super Blue in Punta Cana and this year it would be the Baron in Sint Maarten, who knows where these private events would take you in 2024?
Our success story is based on God’s Grace and would be incomplete without the support of our customers and agency partners and we can’t begin to express the gratitude we have for you all, as we extend a heart-felt thank you for standing with us through it all.
