The human touch at Cavan travel
MEET THE FINALISTS: TOURISM BUSINESS OF THE YEAR
Founded in 1988 by Michael Geraghty, Cavan Travel is a proudly independent, family-owned Irish travel agency built on a reputation of exceptional service, expert advice, and genuine human connection - qualities that have earned them the loyalty of generations of travellers.
Located just off Market Square in the centre of Cavan town, for over three decades, Cavan Travel has grown from a small, independent travel agency into a trusted cornerstone of the community.
At the heart of the business are Michael Geraghty and his daughter Siobhán, who work side by side with a close-knit team of expert travel consultants. Together with dedicated staff members like Maureen and Laura, who have been with the company for many years, the Cavan Travel team brings a wealth of industry knowledge that makes every travel experience seamless and stress-free.
Cavan Travel’s impact goes far beyond booking flights and hotels. They play a key role in supporting and promoting tourism.
Siobhán proudly describes Cavan Travel as an “independent, family-owned travel business” that offers everything from a “simple” Ryanair flight to Stansted, a tailored holiday in the Mediterranean, or a “complex” route through Australia and New Zealand.
The team handles each booking with the same level of care and attention. They don’t just sell travel - they offer complete support, including travel insurance, boarding passes, baggage assistance, and the kind of face-to-face reassurance that algorithms and online-only platforms can’t provide.
Cavan Travel is a fully licensed and bonded travel agency, meaning clients can book with complete peace of mind.
They understand that not every journey is a holiday and they treat each customer with empathy and respect, making sure even the most sensitive trips are handled with compassion and care.
“Our customer service is well appreciated, and I think well accepted throughout the community. We help everybody in all circumstances,” says Siobhán.
In today’s world of chatbots and impersonal booking engines, Siobhán and the rest of the Cavan Travel team believe in the power of real human connection. As she puts it: “More than ever, people want a human to talk to. They want things explained to them, and they want a bit of hand-holding through the process. That’s what we’re about.”
