What It Is
Southall Travel is one of the UK's largest independent travel agencies, established in 1984 and headquartered in Southall, west London. Originally founded to serve the British South Asian diaspora with flights and travel to India and the wider Asia-Pacific region, the agency has grown into a full-service travel retailer offering flights, hotels, holiday packages, and all-inclusive deals across global destinations. Its online retail arm, Travel Trolley, was launched in 2013 to extend its reach to a broader digital audience.
Who It Serves and How to Connect
Southall Travel serves both leisure and visiting-friends-and-relatives (VFR) travellers, with particular strength in UK customers travelling to South Asia, the Middle East, and long-haul destinations. Hotels and accommodation providers seeking access to this audience can connect through Southall Travel's trading relationships or via online distribution agreements. The agency holds ATOL protection (licence 5553), providing customers and trade partners with financial security assurance.
Specialty and Region
The channel's distinctive strength is its reach into the British South Asian market — a high-spending, loyalty-driven travel segment with strong demand for India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Dubai, and similar destinations. Hotels and resorts in those regions, as well as UK-based properties catering to multicultural travellers, stand to benefit most from distribution through Southall Travel.
