About TravelplanBooker

About us

After planning with many travel guide books and maps, wasting numerous hours searching for and booking on silo platforms, our family had an idea for a more efficient online travel office.  We travelled to many beautiful and interesting places such as South Africa, Tanzania-Zanzibar, Peru; Machu Picchu-Cusco, Ecuador-Galapagos Islands, Utah Parks-Las Vegas-California, Kyoto-Osaka-Tokyo, Hong Kong-Suzhou-Shanghai.

Every occasion it was a very time consuming venture to find and book various travel products that allowed an enjoyable travel journey at an affordable cost. After spending hours and days planning the football World Cup championship in Russia travelling to various cities from Rostov-on-Don, Samara, St. Petersburg to Moscow, the idea was born and became a project.

Not long after travelplanbooker.com became a reality, Joshua Dunne joined and was tasked with fine tuning the customer experience and sourcing and leading a team of software engineers to develop what is proudly the world’s first all-in-one online travel planning and booking tool. Josh’s strong project management experience and extensive knowledge of the travel industry, both as a travel agent and an avid traveler proved to be important strengths that helped the project move from ‘project mode’ to going live.
