Mynt Travel was founded in 2021 (yes, I setup a travel company during a Global pandemic!). The initial goal was to enter the hugely deprived travel market in South Wales and bring a fresh, innovative service to the people of Cardiff and the South Wales Valleys.
'South Wales Event Travel' as we were called back then, began by operating coach trips to large events at throughout the UK. It became quickly apparent that our concept of providing a 5* service whilst offering exceptional prices could be extended to other aspects of the travel market. We expanded to the hotel and cruise industry, and suddenly became about more than just attending events from South Wales.
​
South Wales Event Travel was subsequently rebranded to Mynt (like 'mint') Travel, we're nationwide, the journey continues, and even though we're growing we'll never forget our roots and our values, which have set us apart from day 1, and will continue to do so.

Hello!
I'm Alex, and whilst I'm really lucky to have a great team supporting me in running the business, it's usually me that you'll speak to when you get in touch with Mynt Travel!
​
I began my journey in the Travel Industry when I was just 18 years old at First Choice Holidays in a terrible bright green uniform (if you know, you know). I then worked for TUI before leaving travel for a long time, but I absolutely love seeing the World so whilst I wasn't working in travel, it was very much a massive part of my life.
I returned to travel when I setup Mynt in 2021 and have never looked back! I'm so proud of the business, what it's achieved so far and the plans we have to take Mynt forwards in the future, and I'm so grateful to all of our customers past and present for being a part of this incredible journey.
​
You have my personal promise that when you book anything through Mynt Travel, whether it's a coach daytrip trip or a massive around-the-world holiday, you'll have unwavering support and the very best customer service from start to finish.
​
I can't wait to hear from you!
