Joyful travels

The Rajah Group of Companies recently celebrated its 41st anniversary and the 75th birthday of its founder Alejandra Clemente. The double  celebration was held at the Fairmont Makati Ballrooms 1 and 2 and featured the launch of two travel innovations: the Funtastic Vacations Philippines brochure and the Rajah Travel online booking tool.

The Funtastic Vacations Philippines brochure is the first of its kind, with specialized tours showcasing the rich history, diverse culture and immense beauty of the Philippines. The Rajah Travel online booking tool provides a “one-stop-shop” travel option for travellers. It is user-friendly and provides access to real-time travel information, reservations and ticketing and is linked to various social media sites and live feeds.

Rajah Tours is the inbound company of the Rajah Group of Companies, which also comprises Rajah Travel Corp. (outbound travel), Trans-Inter Corp. (tourist transportation) and the Philippine Convention Organizing Center (professional). Established in 1972 as a small inbound company, Rajah Tours has since grown as a major player in the Philippine travel and tourism industry. With over 40 years under its belt, the company has become synonymous with reliable service and quality tours in the Philippines.

Rajah Travel Corp. is an IATA-accredited travel agency that caters to international and domestic travel and tours. A partner of Carlson Wagonlit Travel (CWT) in the Philippines since 1995, Rajah has optimized its ticketing capability and has significantly increased its network and presence in the industry. Rajah Travel has been the Philippines’ general sales agent for Insight Vacations Pte. Ltd. since 1982 and Contiki Tours International Ltd. since 1997, two of the largest motor coach operators in Europe. It is also the preferred sales agent for Norwegian Cruise Line, Star Cruises and Silversea Cruises.

In Metro Manila, the Rajah Group of Companies has offices in Manila and Makati. Overseas, it has full-service offices in San Francisco, USA.

Guests enjoyed free flowing wines and a buffet dinner as Rajah gave away 41 raffle prizes to symbolize its 41 years in the industry. The grand prizes included business class tickets to Paris and Rome.
