About Me – Philip Clapé

Creating tailored travel experiences with expertise, empathy and a lifelong passion for discovery.

Personal Story & Professional Background

I’ve always believed that travel isn’t just about ticking boxes — it’s about meaningful experiences that enrich your life. Born and raised in Darwin, I grew up surrounded by diverse cultures, big skies, and a strong sense of connection — all of which shaped the way I see the world.

That curiosity led me to a career spanning the airline industry, hospitality, and now, as the proud founder of Holidays Beckon, an independent, home-based travel agency. I specialise in helping Australians plan unforgettable journeys — from European escapes and luxury cruises to solo adventures and special events.

I’m proud to have recently been featured by Travel Agent Day Australia, sharing my story and the experiences that have shaped my career.

As a CLIA-accredited Top 100 Master Cruise Consultant, I bring expert-level knowledge to every itinerary. And in 2024, I was honoured to be named the Outstanding Europe Destination Expert (QLD) — a proud moment that reflects my dedication to thoughtful, detailed planning and client care.

What I Offer & How I Work

Clients often tell me they value my genuine approach, attention to detail, and quick communication — especially outside of regular hours. I operate flexibly to suit your schedule, whether you're just dreaming or ready to book.

Whether you're chasing the Northern Lights, sailing the Adriatic, or organising a milestone trip, I’ll work with you to design something that fits your goals, budget, and style of travel — without compromise.

What Clients Say

“Philip will give his all to achieve the best outcome for his clients — our holiday was a memorable, life changing experience.”
“The way you know you have a great travel agent is when you don't need to talk with them once everything is arranged - because it's so well organised.”
“Great help organising our family of 12 - I would recommend Philip to anyone thinking of using his services!”
