Our Mission and Values

Welcome to Auria Travel – your new independent travel agency. Whether you're dreaming of soft white sands, iconic cityscapes, or an unforgettable cruise adventure, we're here to make it happen.

We combine the best of both worlds: with warm, welcoming retail stores and a modern online booking facility, so you can plan your perfect getaway the way that suits you best.

At Auria Travel, we believe in personal service, expert advice, and the kind of care you only get from people who are truly passionate about travel. Our team brings decades of experience from across the travel industry, and we’re proud to share that knowledge with every customer who walks through our door or visits us online.

From quick weekend escapes, family holidays or once-in-a-lifetime adventures, our job is to listen, guide, and deliver a holiday that’s as unique as you are.

For your peace of mind, your money is 100% protected.  We are a member of Protected Trust Services (PTS), registration number 6309, which means all customer payments are held in an independent trust account for complete financial security.

In addition, all holidays we sell that include flights are ATOL protected, giving you full peace of mind when you book with Auria Travel.

Meet Markus Kendall-Young, Founder

I’m Markus Kendall-Young, the founder of Auria Travel, and I’m delighted to bring my lifelong love of travel back to where it all began – my hometown of Ashby de la Zouch.

With over 30 years’ experience in the travel industry, I’ve done everything from flying around the world as airline cabin crew to working in major brand high street travel stores, and more recently as a personal travel consultant helping customers on a one-on-one basis.

Opening a bricks-and-mortar travel agency has been a long-held dream of mine – and now it’s finally here. Auria Travel isn’t just a business; it’s a passion project built on years of experience, a love of travel, and a belief in genuine customer service. Whether you’re new to travel or a seasoned explorer, I’d love for you to pop in and say hello.
