FAQ #5: What’s in a Name? Jul 20

Q: Why did you name your company Island Getaways?

A: Well, back in 1997, I had to come up with a name and a theme to form my company. I didn’t want to start a general travel agency, we already had enough of those.  I began with the (then new) concept of custom-designed travel for individuals  and brainstormed several possibilities.

I was leaning toward Island Girl Getaways but thought the name would be too long. So, I shortened it to Island Getaways for practical reasons, not realizing at that time, that I would eventually specialize in the South Pacific islands of Tahiti, Fiji, the Cooks , the north & south islands of New Zealand and the island continent of Australia.

Do you detect a theme here?

One of my favorite places - the island of Moorea, Tahiti
