About Judy and Maria's Travel, Inc.

Judy and Mar

ia’s basis for success in today’s competitive travel marketplace is specialization, extreme focus, unrelenting enthusiasm, and maximum customer service. As self-educated travel gurus we have developed an international website to reach out to the world, while still providing intense personal service.

We developed a business plan to specialize in leisure travel and focus on key destinations that would enable consumers to feel secure about booking and traveling several times a year. We targeted the middle-aged, affluent consumer. Repeat business ensued. In today’s automated world there remain many consumers who elect personal service. We put our expertise to good use and became personal shoppers for today’s busy professionals who are seeking knowledgeable travel and destination experts and we sell enthusiastically with pride of product.

Our Business Model: specialize, focus, love what you do, be #1, be ready at all times for the unforeseen; if you hit a wall, jump over it, go around it, do whatever it takes to make it work; we are our business, we live and breathe it, and it works for us.

Nearly 25 years ago and in as many countries my resort career began. From the

tiny islands of Micronesia, through the Caribbean to the deserts of Northern Africa, my travels have introduced me to the top travel professionals within the industry, however none can hold a candle to the girls from Coatesville, Pennsylvania. For almost 7 years now, Judy and Maria have shown me the meaning of "Simply the Best!"

You will never find more qualified and knowledgeable professionals when it comes to making your vacation truly "Something to Remember!" The simple fact that Judy & Maria are in constant contact with the properties and the team working within will give you an immediate sense of comfort. They know their properties because they've been there and experienced it for themselves, they know the management as well as the staff and I guarantee you'll never find a closer relationship than that which exists between Judy & Maria and one of their properties listed in their premiere portfolio."
