PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Dear Fellow Travelers,
I have been in the travel industry for over thirty-five years and realize now, more than ever, you have literally thousands of options when making your travel and vacation plans. Here at Morris Columbus Travel, we recognize you have options, and we strive to provide you with the best option when booking your next trip or vacation. Whether you book over the phone or in person when visiting one of our offices, we’re here to serve and assist you with all your travel needs. We sincerely believe agencies like Morris Columbus Travel—who invest time and resources to train and expand the product knowledge of our advisors—offer a valuable tool in helping you plan your next getaway.
Travel can be both simple and complex: a quick flight to Los Angeles or two weeks in Europe visiting multiple countries. Choosing the right provider can also be simple or complex. You, just like me, want a good value for your money, along with the assurance that services will be provided as advertised: airlines will fly, cruises will sail, resorts will be open, and rental cars will be available. At Morris Columbus Travel, we take that responsibility seriously and have long-standing relationships with our preferred provider partners throughout the world. Our Morris Columbus experts will help you with every detail of your vacation, from planning to departure, which gives you peace of mind.
An enjoyable vacation creates a lifetime of memories for you, your family, and friends. Here at Morris Columbus Travel, we’d love to help you choose your next vacation. So please, contact one of our trained and knowledgeable travel consultants and give us a chance to show you what we do best. Making vacation dreams come true since 1958!
Sincerely,
Brent Jenson
President
