About Us: Your Trusted Florida Travel Experts

At the Florida Travel Company, we are more than just a travel company—we are a team of passionate experts with a genuine love for Florida and decades of experience in the travel industry. Led by Mark Lawther, our goal is to offer you tailored, well-curated holidays that reflect the very best of what Florida has to offer. We are committed to ensuring that your dream Florida holiday is seamless, exciting, and memorable.

Our Background: A Legacy of Expertise with Your Florida Travel Experts

At Florida Travel Company, we pride ourselves on being Florida Travel Experts, offering unparalleled knowledge and experience to craft your perfect holiday. Our founder, Mark Lawther, brings over 25 years of travel industry expertise, having worked with leading global tour operators and prestigious airlines like United and Emirates. With an insider’s understanding of airfare distribution, Mark’s expertise ensures that every aspect of your Florida holiday is planned with precision and value in mind.

Since relocating to Cornwall with his family in 2012, Mark has continued to deepen his expertise in international travel. His passion for Florida began in the late Eighties (still the best music era!) and has only grown stronger with each visit. Having stayed in numerous hotels, owned a villa, and experienced all the theme parks, he knows exactly what makes a Florida holiday unforgettable.

At Florida Travel Company, our commitment is to provide expert guidance on every detail of your trip—whether it’s finding the perfect villa, choosing the right hotel, or curating a personalised itinerary. As Florida Travel Experts, we are dedicated to turning your dream holiday into reality, ensuring every moment in the Sunshine State is truly magical.

Partnerships That Guarantee Unbeatable Service

We pride ourselves on working with a network of trusted suppliers—many of whom are not available to the public—ensuring every aspect of your trip is handled with care. Similarly, our partnerships with the airlines mean we have access to fares that are also not on general release and can only be sold as part of a package. Additionally, we are an appointed operator of British Airways, adding yet another layer of quality and reliability to our services. When you book with us, you can trust that your travel plans are being managed by someone with a deep love for Florida and extensive industry experience.

Why You’re in Safe Hands with Us

At the Florida Travel Company, your peace of mind is our top priority. We are fully ATOL-protected (Air Travel Organisers’ Licensing – member number 12020) and members of Protected Trust Services (PTS – member number 5627), ensuring complete financial protection. When you book a package holiday with us, you’re not just securing a fantastic travel experience—you’re ensuring your investment is safe.

The ATOL scheme, established in 1973, safeguards travelers in case a travel company ceases trading. ATOL protection provides refunds and repatriation if necessary. We are proud to be a registered ATOL holder, and you can find our membership number clearly displayed on our website. For added peace of mind, we are also members of PTS, which ensures the financial security of your booking through its secure trust fund system. This means that whether you’re booking flights, hotels, or a complete holiday package, your money is safe with us.

More Than Just Travel

Outside of creating exceptional holidays, Mark is an active member of his local community in Cornwall, often found on the sidelines at Cornish rugby matches supporting his sons at St Austell and St Ives rugby clubs. When he’s not on the pitch, you might spot him running along the Cornish coast, having completed the London Marathon in 2022 for BreakthroughT1D (formerly  JDRF), a Type 1 Diabetes charity. His dedication to helping others extends beyond travel and into every aspect of his life, ensuring that when you book with the Florida Travel Company you are not just a customer, but a valued part of our community.
