Monett Johnston

Director

2017 saw me focus on furthering my cruise specialist training.  I attended CLIA Australasia cruise conference and attained the ultimate achievement, gaining my CLIA Masters in Cruising.

With over 45 years in the travel industry, I have been fortunate to visit many amazing and exotic destinations around the world, to experience many different cultures, to enjoy different cuisines, gaining indepth knowledge that is invaluable to my business. I have journeyed escorting Groups, on family holidays and Corporate events. My favourite way to travel would have to be cruising, the focus on destinations or resort style comfort, boutique ships or fun ships, they all offer a difference.

One of the best parts of my career in the travel industry has been nurturing and developing the knowledge and skills of the consultants that have worked with me over the years. It is fantastic to see what amazing Consultants they have all become and how they enhance the experiences of their clients.  

Travel is all about experiences and memories and I believe that this starts from the moment you walk into YOU Travel Whitianga. We look forward to welcoming you in store and sharing our knowledge and experience with you.
