Thoughtfully Planned Travel, Designed Around You
Here’s a little about us. Travel is deeply personal. It’s how we celebrate milestones, reconnect with ourselves, and experience the world in meaningful ways. As a Portland travel agency that’s been at this since 1977, Willamette International Travel believes every journey should reflect who you are, how you like to travel, and what matters most to you.
OUR APPROACH
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all itineraries.
Our collaborative team of advisors take the time to understand your interests, pace, and priorities before designing a journey that feels intentional and seamless. Whether you’re dreaming of a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, a romantic escape, or a thoughtfully planned family trip, we focus on the details so you can focus on the experience.
Every trip we plan is shaped by:
- Personal conversations and careful listening
- Firsthand knowledge and trusted global partners
- Thoughtful pacing and meaningful experiences
OUR EXPERIENCE
Our team brings deep destination knowledge and long-standing industry relationships to every itinerary.
This experience allows us to:
- Recommend destinations and accommodations that truly fit you
- Navigate logistics with confidence and care
- Advocate for you before, during, and after your travels
We stay informed, well-connected, and attentive so your journey feels effortless.
OUR STORY
Willamette International Travel opened its doors in Portland in 1977, and nearly 50 years later we’re still still in love with this work. You’ll find us in the Irving Street Lofts building in the Pearl District, a short walk from the food, coffee, and culture that make the neighborhood worth visiting.
Over almost five decades, we’ve built the kind of supplier relationships and firsthand expertise you can’t get from a booking site. As a proud member of CLIA, IATA, ARTA, and Travel Leaders Network, our Portland travel agency pairs the trust of a global network with the warmth of a local team that knows you by name.
