A family business, extended by one man's discipline — from a 19-year-old learning the trade to the founder trusted with moving 200-person corporate groups without a single dropped ball.
Founder, Rush Holidays.
Travel and tourism has always run in my family — it's a business I grew up around, not one I discovered later. I started working in it at the age of 19, learning the trade from the ground up: vendor negotiations, hotel contracts, transport logistics, client relationships — the unglamorous, essential parts of travel that most people never see.
My story isn't about a solo backpacking trip that changed everything. It's about showing up early, staying consistent, and taking a family legacy further than it had gone before.
"I didn't start with a passport stamp. I started with a phone, a ledger, and a family business that needed someone to carry it forward."
Long before Rush Holidays had a name on paper, I was already running the kind of operation most travel founders never touch — corporate MICE. Single-handedly, I've planned and executed group movements of 200+ people for companies like Orient Fans and Sunder Biscuit — coordinating flights, hotels, transport and on-ground logistics for teams that size, with zero room for error.
That's where Rush Holidays comes from. Not a dream trip, but years of proving that when a company hands us 200 people and a deadline, we deliver — on time, on budget, every time. Every leisure itinerary we now run, from Vietnam to Thailand, carries that same discipline.
"Give me 200 people and a flight, and I'll give you a trip that runs like clockwork. That's the standard Rush Holidays is built on."
Corporate discipline is the backbone, but Rush Holidays runs leisure groups with the same care — every traveller lands, gets welcomed, and comes home with a group full of new friends and a phone full of memories.
