Jimmy Ooi (B Eng PHF)
Jimmy is our Founder and CEO and has been involved in planning, handling and managing educational tours since his university days. A graduate in engineering, he dwelled into the travel industry with great passion and devoted his energy and time climbing to the ranks of senior management level of some of Singapore’s reputable companies, building a vast experience bank as tour operator, MICE (meeting, incentive, convention and exhibition) specialist, tour wholesaler and retailer, e-travel distributor and CEO of travel alliances. In educational travel, Jimmy was founder of his alma mater’s Student Travel Service back in Nanyang Technological Institute (now known as NTU) in 1984 and personally organized numerous student tours. “I stumbled into the travel industry when I discovered that many travel programmes offered at that time lacked the intrinsic values beneficial to my fellow students back in NTI " reminisced Jimmy who believes in delighting a young person’s life long experience with memorable educational travel programme.
“The student tour organized by Jimmy in 1985 is still my most memorable experience even until today ", reminisced Mr Yau Tian Soon, engineering graduate (NTI 1986) now General Manager of a local insurance company.
