Meeting the Needs of Older Travellers

We understand that every traveller has unique needs, and we recognise that some older travellers may require additional planning, support or assistance. That's why we take the time to understand your individual circumstances and ensure your travel arrangements are tailored to suit your requirements.

Our team can assist with arranging airline mobility services, wheelchair assistance, special seating requests and other accessibility requirements to help make your journey as comfortable and stress-free as possible. We also provide expert advice on cruises, tours and holiday options, helping you select travel experiences that best match your interests, comfort level and mobility needs.

We understand that travel insurance can sometimes be complex, particularly when pre-existing medical conditions or claims are involved. One of our directors has extensive experience in the insurance industry and is available to provide guidance and support throughout the travel insurance process.

Should you need to make a travel insurance claim, we can assist by helping you understand the requirements, communicate with insurers and, where appropriate, act as your authorised representative to support the claims process. Our goal is to provide reassurance and practical assistance so you can focus on enjoying your travels with confidence and peace of mind.

We also are fortunate that we have one of our directors who spent 16 years in the Insurance Industry and assists our clients with Travel insurance, especially on difficult claims where advocacy is needed with Insurance companies. We can be appointed as an authorised agents for you to enable us to assist in the handling of the claim.

We are Canterbury Trusted!

Something we haven’t really talked about much — but probably should — is that we, as World Travellers / Travel the World, are now officially recognised as a Canterbury Trusted business through Business Canterbury..

Now before anyone points out the obvious - yes, we know Blenheim is not actually in Canterbury! But as part of the wider Travel the World family, our Blenheim team is proudly included in this recognition too.

What does Canterbury Trusted actually mean? It’s really about trust, professionalism, reputation and doing business the right way. And whilst the recognition comes through Canterbury, the values behind it are reflected right across our entire team - including here in Blenheim.
Travel is personal. People trust us with their holidays, celebrations, family adventures and sometimes years of saving and planning. That’s not something we ever take lightly.

We know there are plenty of ways to book travel these days. AI, booking websites and online deals all have their place. But there’s still something incredibly valuable about having real people in your corner - people who understand travel, know what works and genuinely care about your experience from start to finish. That’s what we pride ourselves on.

Whether you book with our Blenheim team, Rolleston, Merivale or Travel the World Groups, you are backed by the same values, the same support and the same commitment to exceptional service. And whilst we don’t often stop to celebrate recognition like this, we are incredibly proud that the way we do business - personally, honestly and with genuine care - has been acknowledged.

Most importantly, thank you to our wonderful clients. Your loyalty, support and trust means everything to us and we genuinely love being part of your travel stories.
