Emma Moore
Personal Travel Consultant
Where do I start with my passion for travel? With over 30 years' experience in the travel industry, I’ve helped thousands of clients plan everything from relaxed family beach escapes to once-in-a-lifetime honeymoons.
I began my career managing a busy high-street store and now focus on offering a more personal, tailored service - where every trip is planned with care and attention, from the first conversation to the moment you return home.
I specialise in tailor-made getaways, family holidays, long-haul escapes, cruises and weddings abroad. Whether it’s an intimate Caribbean ceremony or a big celebration in Mexico (one of my largest was 52 guests!), I love being part of creating those unforgettable moments.
No two days are the same in travel - and that’s exactly why I love what I do.
My background
Born and raised in Nailsea, I’ve always had a passion for travel. My career started in 1990 with Bakers Dolphin, where I worked my way up to managing a thriving city-centre branch in Bristol.
When the business merged with First Choice (which later became TUI), I continued to grow in the industry, gaining invaluable experience across all areas of travel.
In 2024, I decided to take the leap into independent travel, reconnecting with my former colleague Claire Oliver and joining Luxury Dream Holidays. It was an easy decision - I wanted to offer my clients a truly personal service, combining my experience with the flexibility to tailor everything around their individual needs.
Travel isn’t just my job - it’s my passion. I love discovering new places, sharing my knowledge and making sure my clients feel completely confident, excited and cared for.
Where I've been
I’ve been fortunate to explore some incredible destinations over the years, including:
-
The Maldives – My ultimate beach destination - full of wow factors, from the coral reefs and stunning beaches to the warm hospitality and laid-back atmosphere.
-
Greece – I love the relaxed way of life, the food, the culture and the people - it always feels like home.
-
Thailand – So much variety! Bustling cities, paradise beaches, cultural experiences and incredible food.
-
The Caribbean (Jamaica, Dominican Republic, Mexico) – The Caribbean has my heart. From climbing Dunn’s River Falls in Jamaica and swimming with dolphins in the Dominican Republic to visiting Chichen Itza - one of the Seven Wonders of the World - in Mexico, every trip has been unforgettable.
-
Kenya, Thailand, Hong Kong, Mauritius, Australia, New Zealand, California and Florida - Each one offering something unique, from wildlife encounters to vibrant cities and stunning coastline.
-
More recently, I’ve been back to Jamaica, Rhodes and Dublin - a brilliant city break!
My favourite type of holiday
How can you pin down just one favourite holiday?!? I get asked this all the time, but honestly, it depends on where you are and who you’re with. I love to travel - whether it’s a beach escape, an adventure or exploring new cultures. It’s all about the experiences you have and the memories you make along the way.
