Founded in 1988 by Steven Pettitt and Nigel Berry, Pettitts Travel pioneered the concept of tailor-made travel by car in India. Soon their clients were asking them to offer this arrangement in other countries and so the fascinating journey of Pettitts Travel began. The same year as Pettitts Travel began, another local travel company, CT Travel Group, was founded by local entrepreneur, Mark Kempster, which included the leisure brands Packyourbags Travel and a little later on, Medway Leisure Travel. These two brands ran alongside one another for several years, providing their loyal clients with holidays across the globe catering for all travel types such as luxury beach, city and opera breaks, road trips, safaris, cruises and tailor-made travel. In 2015, Pettitts Travel also became part of CT Travel Group. Today, Pettitts Travel is the sole leisure brand of CT Travel Group, having merged with Packyourbags Travel and Medway Leisure Travel. It remains independent, offering a wide range of destinations and holiday collections, with a team of travel specialists, based in its offices in Tunbridge Wells, Maidstone, Delhi and Kochi (Cochin).
