About Us

Around the World Travel & Tours was started in 1997 on the premise that nothing beats personalized service, experience, and attention to detail. While many Internet sites promise special deals, travelers are often unaware of restrictions, exceptions, and fine print. Making the right choices based on price alone is not always the best course of action for travelers. We hear too many horror stories of travelers regretting that they didn't call us first.

Terri Stancil recognized the need for experienced agent's in the Internet age. While many agents succumb to the pressure of bargain Internet sites, Terri recognized the niche for knowledgeable experienced travel professionals. She knew that travelers would appreciate the values of a full-service travel agency. Many travelers learned that they actually saved money and time by seeking the help of an experienced travel professional. 

Terri has spent nearly three decades in the travel industry. As an industry leader, she has worked with major cruise lines and hotel chains as a marketing professional. By working with travel agencies over the years, she knew she could best serve travelers by creating an agency on her own terms. She was determined to prove that her agency could prove better service and value than any other means of travel planning. She was right. Around the World Travel & Tours has been profiled as the smart choice for demanding travelers.  Terri is proud to be recognized as an industry leader.
