A warm welcome to Davy Tague who is the latest member to join the Merlin Travel Group familiy.
Davy brings something unique to the MTG if not the travel industry - he is fluent in BSL (British Sign Language) and IS (International Sign). This allows him to cater to deaf and hard-of-hearing clients, filling a significant gap in the travel industry. With his expertise, clients can benefit from direct communication in their primary language, eliminating potential barriers or misunderstandings.
Davy may be relatively new to travel, but over the years, his extensive travels have turned him into a sought-after source of travel advice for friends, family, and colleagues. Their encouragement led him to consider a professional venture in travel and ultimately to us.
Davy is trading as Orwell Travel and we're delighted that he decided on Merlin Travel Group to assist on his journey. We wish Davy every success.

Hit the Road with Merlin Travel Group & Cruise America
Merlin Travel Group was created to host independent travel specialists and niche interest travel businesses under one roof, pooling our systems, commercial agreements, talents and resources to bring our customers the best holiday and travel experiences from start to finish.
We are a UK based tour operator and travel agency serving customers in the UK, Europe, North America, Australasia, and Africa.
At the core of our business are independent travel specialists, often with home-based businesses, who excel at looking after their customers’ holiday and travel needs. They are experienced, dedicated professionals whose knowledge and enthusiasm for travel sets them apart from the rest.
Our people are dedicated travel specialists with skill and passion for the destinations and holidays they sell and have a shared belief in service, quality and choice for our customers.
Our group of travel brands and homeworkers also benefit from low operating costs, high commission split, and the freedom to operate their business in the way that works for them.
Group members have the option to directly contract with virtually any supplier, Destination Management Company, hotel or operator anywhere in the world to increase their profit margin and create their own unique products. They can also work with the range of suppliers typically available to UK travel agents and always be confident that client funds are 100% financially protected.
We operate for the benefit of our members and welcome interest from other travel professionals who are interested in joining us.
Our business is fully compliant with the Package Travel Regulations and our client’s funds are 100% financially protected by Protected Trust Services, and overseen by independent trustees.
Independently owned and operated by travel specialists, for travel specialists, we bring a fresh approach to travel and we're sure you'll notice the difference.
