A story

A Story
Let us travel back in time to 1938 when Harry Jackson, an entrepreneurial visionary, began his journey into the travel industry with the purchase of World Travel for $150. At the time Harry was a Professor at Santa Ana College and along with a few of his colleagues they conducted a low cost ($760) yet high quality 58-day European tour under the name “Cooperative Educational Tours”. With the success of these tours, Harry left the teaching profession and dedicated himself full-time to the travel business. After World War II the company began to grow into one of the top travel bureaus in California. Harry's dedication and passion for helping his clients enjoy the best travel experiences possible was evident to many and has been continued by his son, Tom Jackson.

Tom Jackson started working for the company at the early age of 13 stamping brochures and filing catalogs. In 1979, Tom took on a larger role and became the president of the company, taking the company to an all-new level by opening locations throughout California in Orange Country, the Inland Empire, Camarillo, and Carmel.

In 2019, Tom Jackson retired from World Travel Bureau and the company was acquired by Jay Johnson, a friend, and colleague, who coincidently had a very similar background in the travel industry! Jay Johnson began working at his father’s travel agency, At Your Service Travel Advisors, in 1985. Similarly to Tom Jay began his career in travel stamping brochures and delivering air tickets. Since then, Jay purchased the agency from his father, changed the name to Coastline Travel Advisors, and in 1997 joined Virtuoso, a luxury travel consortia. Coastline Travel has since grown to 6 locations around the country, many of which are storefront retail agencies deeply embedded in their communities, and one agency located in Monaco! Now with the acquisition of World Travel Bureau, The Coastline Travel Group consists of 10 agencies around the world. The entire Coastline Travel Group family is honored to carry on the legacy that began with Harry Jackson and we look forward to continuing the success of World Travel Bureau.
