A new travel agency will officially open today in the Washington Mall.

TRIP Bermuda has been operating as a low-key operation for the past two-and-a-half years, but will now employ six full-time agents.

The company has provided four new jobs for individuals who were previously unemployed.

The firm’s new offices, located above La Trattoria on the upper floor, will be officially opened during a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 10am.

“The agency had been a dream of founder Lois Wilson, who untimely passed away a year ago,” said travel agent Gary Kent-Smith.

“Now it is her immediate family who carry the torch, and through their efforts the agency has now moved from strength to strength.

“The staff at TRIP have one basic philosophy — to do the best for our customers, period. The agency caters to those looking for low-cost vacations, as well as to mid-range and high-end clientele. “Through our worldwide connections we can arrange customised tours and services in virtually any country in the world.”

TRIP Bermuda is open Mondays through Fridays, from 9am through 5pm

The independent, Bermuda-owned travel agent also offers its clients service in various languages: English, Portuguese and Tagalog.
