VIPs come in all shapes and sizes, just ask VIP Travel Manager, Salvo La Mantia. From highflying mining CEOs to Government ministers, he’s looked after the global travel needs of them all. Despite their demanding schedules and constant time pressures, Salvo thrives on the challenge. A self-proclaimed aviation enthusiast, he stays up-to-date with the latest product and supplier developments to deliver the best possible recommendations to his clients. Drawing on his strong knowledge of routing and ticketing, Salvo also prides himself on tailoring individual travel itineraries that reflect his passion for personalised customer service. Salvo dissects every aspect of a trip to find the most time and cost effective option, often saving clients thousands while still allowing them to travel in VIP comfort.

In this high-pressure environment, VIP travellers expect fast response times and innovative solutions to their travel dilemmas. But at the same time, Salvo can be kept busy when unexpected global events and political unrest requires the urgent movement of clients out of unpredictable destinations such as South America. However for Salvo it’s all part of a day’s work and his commitment to exceeding expectations by delivering ongoing value to long-term clients.

Salvo has worked with the Flight Centre Travel Group in both Australia and overseas, plus he has extensive personal travel experience and more than 15 years in the industry. Salvo believes in building strong client relationships based on trust, accountability, transparency and regular, open communication. When not solving the travel issues of VIPs, Salvo switches off by walking his over enthusiastic American Staffy, while daily circuit fitness training helps him balance work pressures.
