Lina Barakat Owner, Manager of MTA Travel

Lina Barakat – MTA Travel, Mobile Travel Agent. Owner, Manager. Has been a member of BRG Upper North Shore since November 2017.

“Travel as much as you can, as far as you can, as long as you can. Life is not meant to be lived in one place.”

I aim to create memorable holidays for people who aspire to more than hitting the “buy” button on a website. People often ask me “Why use a travel agent?”. Because the best ones live, breathe and sleep travel; it’s not a job, it’s a passion, and it’s my passion.

A great travel agent sees you as a person and a future relationship. They know your likes and dislikes, wish list and how to pay for it on your budget. When it comes to your holidays they also see the big picture. They understand the dream but also the pitfalls that you might miss by doing it yourself.

Let’s face it, time away from work is more precious than ever these days. Why wouldn’t you put that in the hands of an experienced professional?

I take pride in providing dedicated, personal service, recognising that in an increasingly complicated world a REAL person at the end of the line is a huge advantage. A person who knows and understands your travel needs, rather than working to a sales script or call centre timer.

As a MTA – Mobile Travel Agent I offer you a complete travel service specialising in competitive flights, hotels, holiday packages, cruises, tours and so much more than you’d get from a traditional store front travel agency. What’s more is that we can meet you at a time and location that suits you – on your lunch break, after hours or on weekends at no cost to you. Not only do you have the benefits of booking with an experienced travel agent, we also have the knowledge base of a great team of support staff and access to 24/7 emergency services should any unforeseen problems arise.

So, if you’d like to enjoy the ultimate in personal, convenient and professional planning with expert advice and the best travel deals, talk to myself when planning your next dream holiday.

BRG benefited myself and my work in getting to know fabulous people, learning from them and also helping them in planning and booking their dream holidays
