Gloria and Woody Bartelt formed Bartelt Travel Consultants in 1982 and remain the driving force behind its success.

Bartelt Travel Consultants’ philosophy has always been to give the traveler, whether they be corporate or leisure, more and better service than they expect.

Bartelt believes that Service is the key word in this statement. Many of our clients are friends, neighbors, and business acquaintances of many years standing. We believe in the Golden Rule of Travel...

...treating our corporate and leisure clients the same way we would like to be treated and the same way we now treat our current clients.

It must work... we still serve our first corporate client, who joined us in 1982.

In addition to our strong Kalamazoo focus, we also are a part of a much larger organization. We believe there is power in numbers; especially buying power. Bartelt Travel Consultants belongs to the Most successful Travel Agency Consortium, Results! Travel. This affiliation enables us to offer our clients the buying power advantages of an organization with more than one billion dollars in sales, while retaining our strong local orientation. We must answer only to one superior... you — our client.
