Insider Q & A with Stelios (Stel) Missikos

When I was 12 years old I would hang out with my Dad in his travel agency learning how to stamp brochures and set up the front window display on Saturday’s for him.

I have been working as a Travel Consultant for 20 years now in both the leisure and corporate fields.

Highlights of my career would be winning top sales agent for W.A. for Harveyworld Travel Offices for sales to Asia, winning a free holiday to Singapore and Bali. 

Also Best First Year Sales Agent for S.T.A Travel in W.A. 

When I made the move to Canberra I won best sales in A.C.T for Scenic Tours for Canada/Alaska/USA, winning a free trip on the Rocky Mountaineer. I also won Best First Year Sales Europe & Asia for Student Travel/Flight Centre.

I love my job the most for the sheer pleasure I see on peoples’ faces and hear in their voices when booking their dream holiday. I love being able to help people put together this dream, and to make sure the experience is as smooth as possible for them to get maximum enjoyment. To know that some people have waited their whole lives to do a certain trip, or have saved for years to do it, it makes it even more enjoyable when you are able to put this together for them and be a part of the whole experience for them.

Through my 20 years’ experience in the Travel Industry and travelling to over 30 countries myself, and through my love of booking peoples dreams and holidays, and the want to go that extra mile for people, I promise to deliver the best knowledge and holiday booking experience possible.
