When you're planning your next getaway, get a travel broker to do it for you; they have inside knowledge, can get you the best deals and offer advice on your travel destinations.

Trista Somervell from NZ Travel Brokers Tauranga can help you make the most of your next adventure – and she and her team are definitely well-suited for the job.

'I've been in the top 10 brokers in the NZ Travel Brokers awards since 2011 and at this year's NZ Travel Brokers awards conference our team took a number of awards.”

With a first place award in the 2016 NZ Travel Brokers awards as well as Broker of the Year, Top Broker Sales for Hawaiian Airlines, Virgin Australia and QBE Travel Insurance, and third place in United Airlines, Trista and her team can help you plan the perfect getaway.

Trista says being a broker means she and her team have access to a wide range of suppliers and wholesalers for putting together amazing holiday packages and group travel.

'Having been to more than 50 countries myself and my staff another dozen, we can really give you first-hand knowledge of the places you want to see.

'Plus with our extensive network of suppliers, it's only one phone call for us to find someone who has been to a destination we haven't.”

And Trista's clients can rest easy – they are bonded members of the Travel Agents Association of New Zealand, meaning traveller's money can't go missing.

'Not all brokers are bonded members of TAANZ and we are proud to be TAANZ bonded,” says Trista.
