Personal service, experience, great prices, and hard work are the reasons why Travel West was voted the #1 travel agency in the entire Illinois Valley.

PERSONAL SERVICE isn't something TRAVEL WEST agents take lightly. There's a genuine concern for each and every person who makes their travel arrangements at TRAVEL WEST, whether it's a couple celebrating a honeymoon or special anniversary, a family looking for an affordable vacation, or a group of people planning a special cruise. The old saying, "treat everyone as you would like to be treated" is alive and well at TRAVEL WEST. You're always greeted with a warm and friendly smile, you never fell rushed or hurried when planning your vacation, and you feel confident your TRAVEL WEST agent will exhaust every possibility in finding the best value for your vacation dollar before quoting you a price.

EXPERIENCE is far greater than anything you can read in a brochure. The TRAVEL WEST agents have literally been there, done it and bought the T-shirt (more than once). All combined, they have sailed over 1,100 cruises, explored all seven continents (including Antarctica), traveled to 54 countries around the world and have over fifty-three years of experience in the travel industry. And it doesn't stop there. Nearly every month at least one TRAVEL WEST agent visits a destination property or attends an on-going training seminar or convention to bring you the most informed customer service possible to enhance your vacation.

GREAT PRICES are one of the main reasons why TRAVEL WEST has very high "repeat business." Many travel agencies offer their clients the first price they find for a vacation, and even quote a higher price so the agency receives a higher commission. At TRAVEL WEST, they'll exhaust every possibility until they arrive at a price and value that they themselves would take if they were going on the same ship. And if you're planning a cruise, there's always great value in what you receive at TRAVEL WEST, because of Jim West's extensive cruise background. You're guaranteed to receive the greatest inside tips and greatest prices on cruise packages anywhere in the entire area. If you like to shop around and compare prices, make TRAVEL WEST your last stop. They're not interested in matching the prices you've found. They're interested in beating them!

HARD WORK goes into keeping TRAVEL WEST the most popular travel agency in the area, as they enthusiastically and passionately stay on top of the latest trends in vacation planning. Their focus is to provide the greatest possible customer service (at no charge). In an effort to accommodate your needs and your schedule, their office opens earlier and closes later than any travel agency in the entire area. You can even make your travel plans on Sunday afternoons, simply by calling and making an appointment beforehand.

As we move forward into the new millennium, if you're not using the services of TRAVEL WEST, you are certainly missing out on an exciting and refreshing difference in the way your vacation plans are arranged for you and your family. Call their Spring Valley office toll-free (800) 708-0880 and ask for Jim, Colleen, Jaci, or Bridget. You can also email them from our convenient contact form. Travel West is living up to their #1 reputation, because they've proven there's more to planning a vacation than just reading a brochure!
