Travel management agency

Created by an all-women team of A-level tour managers, The Optimists was founded with one simple purpose: to meaningfully improve the travel management experience for tour, production and business managers so they can enjoy a better quality of life both on and off the road.

We know that proactive communication is the key to success. In need of quick and timely rates for your budget? No problem. Searching through endless emails to find flight confirmation numbers? No more. Looking for receipts for your end-of-tour reconciliation? We’ve got you.

We created the agency we’d want to work with, and we think you will too.

Details matter.

We’ve built a premier travel management agency that provides white-glove service to clients as they travel and tour around the globe. We research, book and coordinate hotels, flights and ground transportation, as well as luxury and adventure experiences.

Our raison d'être is to manage the data and take care of the details, saving you time, money and uncertainty so you can take care of your people—and have fun doing it.

We’ve got your back,
and your back-up plan.

We know traveling and touring can be complicated.
When you work with The Optimists, your glass (of champagne) is always half-full.
Here’s what we bring to the table:

Advocacy

Thanks to our experience and industry connections, we negotiate on your behalf with airlines and hotels, providing you competitive rates on flights, rooms and other key services.

Flexibility

Never limiting your choices for flights & hotels, we always present several options within your parameters, giving you more control over your schedule and budget.

Availability

Our team is standing by to provide empathetic, real-time guidance and solutions over phone or text when travel plans are disrupted, providing certainty at the most stressful moments of the tour.

Efficiency

In order to simplify the process and eliminate thousands of unnecessary emails, we’ve invested in a one-stop client portal for centralized communication, document signing and receipt delivery.

Excellence

Our experience in production and tour management on major international tours allows you to sleep at night knowing we’re working in the background to get your people where they need to be on time, on budget, and on top of their game.
