Welcome to The Holiday People

Chris is the CEO of The Adventure People and has over 20 years experience in the travel industry.

There’s nothing quite like stepping off a plane into somewhere new — the scent of unfamiliar spices in the air, the warm sun on your face, and the thrill of knowing that adventure awaits.

At The Holiday People, we believe that travel should be more than just a break from everyday life. It should inspire you, connect you, and stay with you long after you return home.

Whether you're dreaming of lazy beach days or immersive cultural escapes, you're in the right place. Here's a little about who we are — and why we're changing the way people book and experience their holidays.


✨ Why We Started The Holiday People

We created The Holiday People to make planning extraordinary getaways easier, more flexible, and more rewarding.

Too often, booking a holiday feels like navigating a maze of hidden fees, rigid policies, and generic options. We thought: there has to be a better way.

So we built a travel company that’s genuinely customer-first — combining the ease of online booking with the reassurance of real travel experts, curated experiences, and financial protection you can trust.

We’re here to help you see more of the world, without the hassle — and with all the joy.


🧭 What We Believe Holidays Should Be

We don’t just sell holidays — we curate experiences.

We believe:

  • Holidays should offer real value without cutting corners.

  • Every trip should feel tailored, not templated.

  • You should connect with the culture, people, and places, not just tick off a checklist.

  • Booking should be simple and flexible, with low deposits and fair payment plans.

  • And above all, holidays should leave you feeling richer in memories, not poorer in spirit or money.

We’re for sun-chasers, city explorers, food lovers, families, solo travellers, and spontaneous bookers alike. If you're dreaming of your next great escape, we’re here to make it happen.


💷 How We Make Travel Easier for You
