Celebrating 20 Years of Emma Whiting Travel
Twenty years on Queens Parade.
A whole world of travel.
What started in 2006 as a tiny office tucked away behind the shops on Queens Parade has grown into the team and travel business we have today.
But while plenty has changed over the years, the reason we started hasn’t.
We wanted to create a travel business where we could really get to know our clients, share our own travel experiences and knowledge, and provide the kind of personal service that makes you want to come back - year after year.
Twenty years on, we’re still here on Queens Parade. Just across the road, in our beautiful new home at 406 Queens Parade, Fitzroy North.
And we’re still doing what we love.
Getting to know you. Hearing about your travels. Helping you discover somewhere new. And working out where in the world you should go next.
2006
It’s quite amazing to think that what started in 2006 as a tiny office tucked away behind the shops on Queens Parade has grown into the business and team we have today.
The idea back then was simple: to create a travel business where we could really get to know our clients, share our own knowledge and experiences, and provide the kind of personal service that would have people coming back to us year after year.
20XX
It wasn’t long before David and Jacqueline joined, our little business began to grow, and eventually we made our way out onto the Queens Parade street front.
Twenty years later, we’re still here on Queens Parade, now in our wonderful new home at 406 Queens Parade.
2026
A lot has changed over those 20 years, but the most important things really haven’t.
We still love getting to know our clients, hearing about your travels, sharing our own experiences and helping you discover where in the world you might go next.
Our team, past and present, our wonderful travel partners and, most importantly, all of you who have trusted us with your travels over the years have made Emma Whiting Travel what it is today.
So, from all of us, thank you for being part of our first 20 years.
Let the celebrations begin!
We’ve decided 20 years deserves more than just one day, so throughout October and November we have plenty planned, and we’d love you to be part of it.
Some of our favourite travel partners are joining the celebrations, bringing you special 20th Anniversary offers, exclusive travel deals and added extras over the coming weeks.
We’ll also be welcoming some of them into our new shop for small in-store events and one-on-one sessions. It’s a chance to hear from the experts, ask questions, learn something new and perhaps find inspiration for your next holiday.
And it’s a great excuse to come and see our new home, have a coffee and catch up with the team.
