| The travel company of choice for over six million people worldwide. Our customers come to STA Travel because our brand and people deliver the experience. While every customer is an individual, our market has much in common. Students are young and well educated. They love to travel. They have high hopes for their future world. Once they take their first trip, they will be on the road throughout their whole lives. Travel for them is an experience; a time to study and work, learn and enjoy. They want to feel good about the people they buy from -- not only financially secure, but knowing that they are really getting what they want; the best advice and the most suitable products tailored for them. We recruit bright young people and we aim to promote internally. Our success has been built on giving our best people opportunities to take on significant leadership roles within the company. Our management team is young and dynamic and they are given authority to develop local markets and run the business like their own. We want our people throughout the world to enjoy the benefits of being part of a global company. We give them opportunities to travel and experience STA Travel in other parts of the world through our global programs, and we make global job opportunities available to them. Flights: We have special agreements with over 100 airlines and the STA Travel Blue Ticket™lies at the core of our business.Using our own tickets, we are best able to meet the needs of the market -- both to create new products and to use our own resources rather than those of airlines, to give advice and to provide changes when necessary to their flight arrangements.Specially-bonded contracts supported by the company's bankers provide total security for both partners and customers. Land Product: Our in-house IBS (International Booking System) Department contracts and distributes over 1500 global land products for the whole STA Travel group. IBS is a strategically siginificant and growing part of STA Travel's business and aim to be the world's leading supplier of land products to the student, youth, and related market segments. Insurance: We have developed insurance products with partners which cater specifically for our market and a range of specialist land products including working holidays, language schools, adventure travel, and study abroad schemes. Support: Added security is given to all of our customers through our worldwide network of travel help branches, in 80 countries, giving on- the-spot support to STA Travel Blue Ticket™holders. Cards: Many of our customers hold an International Student Identity Card (ISIC), International Youth Travel Card (IYTC), or International Teacher Travel Card (ITIC). Backed by UNESCO, these cards reward students, youth, and teacher status by providing value offers and discount opportunities. All cards are regulated by the International Student Travel Confederation of which STA Travel is a leading member. |
