“Ivona is a highly-successful business owner and her experience in the luxury travel industry and as a specialist in Africa is well known within our steadily expanding independent cohort.
“We’re incredibly honoured that Take Off Go has joined our House of Luxury Travel and we look forward to a long and successful partnership,” Glading said.
For Siniarska, it’s a return to her travel roots having begun her industry career 17 years ago with Flight Centre in Toronto, Canada, which later introduced her to luxury travel and being an integral part of developing the initial Africa portfolio for Kensington Tours, where she served for three years. In 2014, Siniarska relocated to Australia and joined Flight Centre Business Travel in Melbourne, leading to her creation of Take Off Go into a luxe Africa agency. In 2018, she launched a corporate business under the 1000 Mile Travel Group brand which was initially corporate focused.
“My business has evolved into a balanced split, catering to corporate and luxury leisure clients. Whether booking a corporate retreat, an expedition cruise, or a family ski holiday, our commitment to excellence remains unwavering,” the Polish-born travel expert told LATTE.
“After a successful chapter with the host agency, we decided to rebrand and elevate Take Off Go to offer comprehensive, extraordinary experiences both domestically and globally. We pride ourselves on the luxury our guests experience throughout the booking process and service delivery.”
Currently, Take Off Go comprises a team of six based in Australia, the Philippines and Kenya.
“The rebranded Take Off Go will continue to reflect the luxury space our repeat guests cherish, without compromising the elevated service we offer. As a newly rebranded agency, I believe there’s no better alignment than with Luxury Travel Collection, given its groundswell entrance into the industry,” Siniarska said.
Take Off Go officially joins LTC on 1 August 2024.
