Welcome to Northwestern Travel on-the-web.
Notwithstanding our many electronic efficiencies, we hope
you will come to visit us someday person-to-person. Personal
relationships are what we do best.

Personal relationships begin with hiring good people who
in turn attract good customers. Starting back in 1969, when
I founded Northwestern Travel, we began a practice of hiring
good people and then getting out of their way. That's still
pretty much how we operate around here. We set clear goals.
We believe in each other. We don't take ourselves too seriously
and we don't judge each other harshly. We show up, do good
work, and then go home and have a life.
On our corporate campus in Edina, Minnesota, tree shaded
buildings are named after Hawaiian islands; conference rooms
after Hawaiian cities. My car license plate has always been
ALOHA.
In the Hawaiian language: "Aloha
is more than a word of greeting or farewell or a salutation.
Aloha means mutual regard and affection, and extends warmth
in caring with no obligation in return. Aloha means to hear
what is not said, to see what cannot be seen and to know the
unknowable. Aloha is the essence of relationships in which
each person is important to every other person for collective
existence."
The Aloha spirit is how we, atNorthwestern Travel, do our
best work for each other and for each customer. If this appeals
to you, please see about how our people can help your people
manage their travel.
No rush. We'll be around for at least as long as we've been
around.
Aloha,
