Our Product and Sales Director Mathew Simpson – son of company founder Graham Simpson – explains who we are, what we offer and what we’re looking for.
Introducing Simpson Travel
After 45 years in the travel industry, initially as Simply Travel and then as Simpson Travel, our company remains very much a family business, and we consider our villa owners and hoteliers to be part of the extended family. Our working relationships are built on trust and respect, and we offer the same high-quality service to our owners as we do to our guests. Simpson Travel has seen impressive growth since 2002, successfully weathering the Covid pandemic and attracting significant external investment to keep us at the forefront of marketing technology whilst still retaining the personal touch that our clients value. We have ambitious plans to continue to grow, and are always happy to hear from potential accommodation partners who share our high standards.

Some feedback from our owners:

"It’s not just working with Simpson Travel… it’s working with the whole team. The direct and effective communication, the professionalism and the seriousness of each team member of all departments is above and beyond a common expectation of a property owner. Respect towards owners and customers is remarkable. Also, the feeling we had from the very beginning was that our family would work with another family, this one of Simpson Travel."
