Travel Central Since 1988

About Travel Central 

Since 1988, Travel Central has proudly served the Greater New Orleans area, passionately crafting unforgettable journeys for over 35 years. Our heart and soul are our travel professionals—dedicated experts devoted to designing the perfect vacation tailored just for you.

🚀 From Humble Beginnings to Industry Leaders
What started as a small, four-person operation tucked above a law office has blossomed into a powerhouse of over 20 full-time and independent experts, creating dream vacations for every kind of traveler. Back in the late ’80s, corporate trips dominated, and leisure travel focused on top destinations like Orlando, New York, London, Paris, Las Vegas, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Cruise lines were few, Myanmar was still Burma, and Cuba’s tourism was just a dream. Technology was just beginning to transform how we booked trips—paper tickets delivered by hand and faxes were game-changers!

💡 Pioneering Travel Technology
We have always embraced innovation, evolving with the times—from the early days of the internet and email, to electronic airline tickets, and now fully digital itineraries accessible via a free mobile app. Your entire trip, right at your fingertips.

🌪️ Steadfast Through Challenges
Through every tough moment—airline commission cuts, 9/11, the Great Recession, Hurricane Katrina, and the 2020 pandemic—our commitment to you never wavered. We stood by our clients, rebooking, refunding, and supporting them every step of the way.

🌟 Celebrating 36 Years of Wanderlust & Trust
Travel agents are not just relevant; we are more essential than ever. Our passion drives us to create personalized, seamless experiences that technology alone can’t offer. The trust and loyalty of our clients fuel our mission to bring the world to your doorstep.

✨ Ready for your next adventure?
Let Travel Central be your guide to exploring the world your way. Because your perfect vacation isn’t just a trip—it’s a journey crafted just for you.
