LUXURY LIVING TRAVEL u
THE WORLD AT YOUR PAWS
The expression usually goes “Have the world at your feet”. Luxury Pet Travel would rather say “Have the world at your paws”. Meet the world’s first online travel agency, fully dedicated to people travelling with their dogs – or dogs travelling with their people in a cosmopolitan manner.
Luxury Pet Travel’s adventure started just a year ago. Travelling the world with her dog, Emanuela Nardini, founder of Luxury Pet Travel, realized how little guidance there is. Although they themselves were experienced “dog-travellers”, it remained difficult to gather much needed information about hotel policies, what kind of pet necessities are available and what accommodations and services the hotel provides to make the trip and the stay highly enjoyable, or even possible. And if there was little information, there was even less knowledge regarding what the cities had to offer for those travelling with their dogs. That is how the idea and business was born. Luxury Pet Travel aim to provide information, inspiration, intermediation, guidance and booking services to the cosmopolitan and dog-loving hotel guest and traveller. Our idea and business is new and groundbreaking. We are unique, the interest is great and the market potential is huge, says Siobhan Kelly, co-founder of Luxury Pet Travel. The idea is primarily to create a network and a guide of recommended luxury hotels, but the ambition is also to make a difference by inviting and encouraging the hotels to become more aware, interested and accommodating. 65
