Izaak du Plooy – Managing Director

I have a true passion for travel. When I am returning home from one trip, I am already thinking, “Where can I go next?” I have been in travel since February 2017, when I purchased Casino Travel Shoppe to pursue doing what I loved, which is travel rather than a career. Before buying the business, I had travelled extensively going on three to four overseas trips every year as well as the odd trip around Australia and cruises. I have travelled extensively throughout the world. I also do a lot of reading and research to increase my knowledge of travel destinations. It is important to constantly keep updated on changes and innovations that are taking place as this is imperative in helping my clients determine which destination suits them best. With every reservation that I make, I give special attention to exactly what my clients are looking for and what is important to them. I listen to what you want and find the best match for you to help you travel dreams become magical memories!
