About Us

Luxury doesn't always mean Expensive!
Whilst the dictionary does provide one interpretation as "extravagant indulgence", it also says more importantly ...
"anything delightful to the senses"

Luxury Travel Concepts, is a part of the Travel Concepts group, founded in 1988. Owned and operated by Mel & Stella Haycock, Travel Concepts is widely regarded as one of Australia's, leading 'Boutique Travel Agencies' and, with their small team of 'like minded' people, have built an enviable reputation for quality service and dedication to clients that most other travel agencies simply can't match.

Our Mission Statement

"To specialise in providing personalised and tailor-made itineraries which allow our clients to touch, feel and really experience the History, Art & Culture of the countries they visit, rather than just passing through."

"Experience Our Experience"

Our dedicated team of Travel Professionals staff are amongst the most experienced and well travelled Consultants you will find. Their depth of knowledge is second to none and they will be happy to impart this knowledge to you in planning your trip.

We pride ourselves on providing our clients with a personalised, tailor-made and creative travel service in a professional & confidential 'boutique' environment. Our aim is always to exceed your service expectations.

STAFF PROFILES ~ Each staff member can help you with any area you wish to travel to, however, they all have their own particular areas of expertise. This team of highly qualified Consultants have the combined experience to provide you with the answer to whatever your travel requirements are ... be they Luxury or otherwise.

Whilst, primarily, Mel, Lynn, Jennifer, Donna and Elizabeth are the 'Luxury Consultants' they are well supported by the rest of the highly qualified Travel Concepts team, who between them have 150 years of experience in travel ... certainly one of the most experienced travel agencies in Australasia.
