In under a year, the agency has grown into one of the region’s fastest-rising independent travel consultancies, specialising in:
-
Tailor-made, luxury travel design across the world
-
Expertise in the Indian Ocean and French Polynesia
-
Family-focused, concierge-style service
-
Full ABTA and ATOL protection for total peace of mind
But beyond travel, the business is deeply rooted in community.
As proud members of the Bedfordshire Chamber of Commerce, A&A Legacy Travel remains committed to supporting local collaboration, business growth, and networking across the county.
The company is also proud to have taken part in local initiatives supported by Luton Council, including Luton Enterprise Week ,events that celebrate entrepreneurship, diversity, and inclusion, and reflect the values that define Bedfordshire itself.
To be named a finalist for Best Small Business in such company is not just a business recognition, it’s a community moment.
As Founder Elena Alexandra Mihailov explains:
“Every milestone we reach belongs not just to me, but to our people, the families, clients, and partners who believed in a local dream with global ambition.
Being recognised at a national level reminds us that real success starts right here at home, in Bedfordshire.”
