    Jacqui Bannister brings almost two decades of passion and expertise to her role at Travel Associates Kew, where she specialises in planning unforgettable, one-of-a-kind journeys. Whether it's a romantic getaway, family vacation, or solo adventure, Jacqui draws on her firsthand experience to ensure each trip is as seamless as it is rewarding.

    From watching a Miami Heat game with LeBron James to cruising Alaska's Inside Passage, swimming with turtles and sharks in Hawaii, and savouring cocktails in Playa Del Carmen, Jacqui has amassed an impressive collection of travel memories that span the globe. Each trip, whether chasing waterfalls in the Northern Territory or exploring the cultural gems of Japan with her family, has fuelled her love for travel and deepened her understanding of creating magical travel moments.

    Her passion for travel is contagious, and her dedication to exceptional service makes her a trusted advisor for travellers seeking extraordinary adventures. "My goal is to blend my extensive destination knowledge with your unique preferences," she says.

    But what truly sets Jacqui apart is her genuine commitment to her clients' happiness, ensuring every detail of their adventures, from relaxing beach getaways to exhilarating ski trips, exceeds expectations. "No request is too big or detail too small – I'm here to make every moment memorable," says Jacqui.

    Jacqui's commitment to excellence shines through in her memorable client interactions. One standout moment was orchestrating a surprise wedding proposal on the pristine beaches of Vanuatu. "I get to make clients' dreams come true, and that's the most rewarding part of my job," she says.

    Clients appreciate Jacqui's friendly demeanour, professionalism, and thorough approach. "I listen and work hard for my clients," she affirms. "They never have to chase me for anything—I'm with them every step of the way, from the first enquiry to their return home."

    "I always go the extra mile," Jacqui says proudly. "It's an honour to be entrusted with planning these amazing journeys."

    Jacqui is waiting for your call to plan your extraordinary journey.
