About Us

Doing business with Local Experts

whl.travel is all about local connections. We believe that only a locally owned and operated company can have the depth of knowledge, appreciation and expertise necessary to showcase their destination. Tequila, Mexico is more than just mountains and a liquor drink. Tequila offers a one of a kind experience in a cultural hub. Only a local company can provide you with the information, insight and support to make your holiday to Tequila a fulfilling, informative, and very real travel experience. All of our whl.travel destination booking portals are owned and operated by carefully selected and well-respected travel agencies and tour operators working in their destinations.

To become a whl.travel Local Partner, these companies were evaluated via a selection process that considered the quality of their services, their reputation in the destination, and their ability to bring local suppliers into the online market (with a focus on small, medium, and micro businesses). Commitment to whl.travel network quality standards such as 24-hour customer response, maintenance of site content to keep it current, and inclusion of Caring for the Destination products to highlight suppliers focused on sustainability is also a key criterion.

Our partners’ local knowledge and their love and respect for their destinations coupled with whl.travel’s global online technology creates the perfect tool to help us fulfill our goal of connecting travelers to the world. With whl.travel you deal with people who really know the destination!

Why Book with Locals?

Nobody else is doing what whl.travel does. And who better to handle your holiday to Tequila than a local who knows Tequila first hand? Our philosophy of having a local connection in every destination where we operate differentiates us from other travel sites. Apart from enabling our local partners to offer unique online content and products, this model helps our destinations build local capacity. It allows us to offer the traveller a wide variety of accommodation and service providers which would normally not be available or bookable online. And because you are booking with local businesses, the money you spend remains in the destination you are visiting and supports sustainable tourism there.

Our North America and Caribbean Team

In the North America and Caribbean region, whl.travel maintains a regional office in Miami, FL where we are responsible for maintaining a supporting role to the current live online network and recruiting new local partners in the North America and Caribbean region.

Since opening at the end of summer in 2009, the North America and Caribbean office has been building a strong support structure and relationship with each of our local regional partners. Together we are assembling a group of the best and most knowledgeable local travel agents, creating a unique and reliable source of tourist information, both in already well known and in new, off the beaten path destinations. We share a common concern about sustainability and are constantly seeking out activity and accommodation providers who value their responsibility of building and maintaining a harmonic relationship with nature and with our local communities.

This focus makes whl.travel a truly different online travel service provider. Our core value is to enable real connections between global travellers and local communities and foster a kind of tourism that invests in the future, preserving our historical, cultural, and natural treasures for the generations to come.

We want to guarantee that your next trip to North America and the Caribbean is an unforgettable experience while assisting us to accomplish our goals!
