EMMA PIERCE
MANAGER
I have been in the travel industry for thirty-five years. I had spent most of these years as a Manager at Newell’s Travel Saltash. I have been lucky enough to always work with beautiful people in the Saltash branch; it creates a great working environment. I am pleased to call the staff here my friends as well as my colleagues.
We have many repeat customers in Saltash, which is lovely. I know so many people in Saltash that my husband says it’s like going out with the Queen whenever we’re out! We make a huge selection of holidays, including tailor-made itineraries and a large selection of cruises. The last two years have certainly taken their toll on the industry. Still, I finally feel that our customer’s confidence in us is returning, so we may be turning a corner.
Countries visited:
Australia, Thailand, USA, Seychelles, Egypt, UAE, Turkey, Spain, Mallorca, India, Austria, Bulgaria, Italy, France, Norway, Venezuela, Canary Islands, Greece, Tunisia, Poland, and Malta.
One of my hobbies is skiing, and I have got to ski in places all over Europe and the USA.
Favourite destination:
This question is hard to answer as each destination holds a lovely memory for me. If I had to choose one for my Desert Island Disc choice, it would have to be Italy.
The country encompasses everything I like, from a rich history, stunning architecture, a beautiful language, superb cuisine and wine, and great weather.
Last holiday:
My last trip was to Mexico, where I was fortunate to stay in a highly sustainable resort with a conservation programme in place.
Where next?
South Africa is on the cards, and I look forward to seeing what Cape Town can offer.
In addition, to taking a trip up the Garden Route and into the Winelands. But top of the list would be seeing the Penguins at Boulders Beach.
