Hidden Gems: Meet Johnny Lumpkin of Lumpkin Travel

Today we’d like to introduce you to Johnny Lumpkin.

Hi Johnny, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
I was approached by a mentor of a business opportunity in 2005. I was provided information on saving money by joining a travel club. The club included credentials to be a travel agent, and I was hooked. I have a professional background in Information Technology, and I have a true love for customer service, planning, and logistics. Using my skills to plan vacations was a no-brainer!

I am celebrating 20 years as a travel advisor as well as working 30 years in IT. I am passionate about both careers.

The travel industry is amazing as clients and suppliers recognize the value of using a travel advisor to guide you through the process. Our skills are priceless!

Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
At first it was a challenge to build a loyal client base, and show the value of what Lumpkin Travel can bring to your vacation planning. When the pandemic hit in 2020, all travel stopped for about 2 years. No travel means no income. Once it was safe to travel, business began to thrive almost immediately.

We’ve been impressed with Lumpkin Travel, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
Lumpkin Travel is an elite travel agency with a strong focus on customer service. We respond immediately and are available to handle your travel needs from the initial planning stages to your return home. We pay special attention to the details, making the task of planning a trip easy for the client.

What sets us apart is the supplier relationships. We work on the client’s behalf to make every reasonable request become a reality. We specialize in ocean cruises, all-inclusive resorts, and group trips.

It all begins with a no-obligation quote. All we ask is an opportunity to show our services. Our goal is to be your travel agent for life!

We love surprises, fun facts and unexpected stories. Is there something you can share that might surprise us?
I have a purpose to serve others. It gives me pure joy to make a difference in someone’s life.
