As a professional travel planner, she says every one of her clients’ trips is different. “Making what each client wants, come together exactly the way they want it – that’s the good stuff!”.
Having been on 30 different cruises, cruising is a big passion for Becky. So it goes without saying that it’s also one of her areas of expertise – as well as emerging destinations and private islands.
All over the globe however, Becky has a huge wealth of personal experience to draw on when crafting dream holidays for clients; she has already ticked over 80 countries off her bucket list. Some of the more unique spots on the map include Togo, Trinidad and Tobago, Cuba, Estonia, Myanmar, Maldives, Aruba, Montenegro, Curaçao and the US Virgin Islands.
She has also visited the likes of Puerto Rico, the Philippines, Slovakia, Saint Lucia, France, Austria, Ghana, Taiwan, Switzerland, Russia, Sri Lanka and beyond. Of course, there are too many to mention them all. But you can trust she has a world of experience in all kinds of holidays – from sun-drenched Pacific islands to off-the-beaten-track African gems, nations across Asia and many European hotspots.
So what’s her single favourite destination of them all? It’s one that you may not have even heard of: Benin. A small country in West Africa, between Nigeria and Togo, here UNESCO palatial ruins and temples meet palm-fringed shores on Atlantic waters. “It was incredibly amazing and completely different from south to north,” Becky says. She also says she’ll “never forget the Voodoo Festival that I went to in Ouidah”.
Other life-changing travel memories include hot air ballooning over Bagan, Myanmar, and playing cricket with locals with a stick and bottle cap at sunset in Trinidad, Cuba. Another travel experience she rates highly? Flying first class with Emirates – which she did just this year for the first time.
As well as Becky’s incredible line-up of personal experiences, she has a long list of industry accreditations that make her a travel expert in the truest sense and the person you want behind your next booking – including numerous Master Agent titles, including being a Cruise Master, specialist training for many popular hotel brands, and she is a Virtuoso Voyages Member.
Whether you’re looking to book your next getaway or perhaps require assistance with complicated business travel, speak to Becky at Perchalla and Turner Travel Associates, Hyde Park. She is always happy to help.
Testimonials
We have been working with Becky Kent-Perchalla from Travel Associates Hyde Park SA since about 2012 and we have completed close to 30 holiday adventures thanks to Becky over this period! Becky knows her stuff very well, always responds so quickly, and we get treated exceptionally well. Nothing is too much trouble. We have recommended her to several other people we travel with who also just love working with Becky.
We became clients of Travel Associates Hyde Park in 2020 after moving from Port Lincoln to Adelaide on the recommendation of close friends and current clients of them. Becky Kent-Perchalla and her team are amazing partners of ours, helping with all of our international travel over the past 5 years. They are professional, attentive, prompt and courteous with all our requests and issues. As our consultant, Becky is never too busy to return an email or phone call and has dealt with any issue promptly. From handling the Covid Travel unwinds, to booking all of our travel mostly 2 years in advance and then managing our trips when they start. Becky changed our travel last year while we were asleep overseas so that when the new day started, we had new plans all in place. We have over the last few years recommended Becky to friends and family and they have been very happy with her and her team’s service. Becky and her team are not only good at what they do, but they are great people as well. We have many more years of travel ahead and we will entrust the organisation of this with Becky.
Becky has been the only travel agent I have used for over 24 years. The reason is simple, she is the best! She has seen me safely and comfortably to places all over the world and from luxurious journeys with my wife to challenging itineraries and destinations for business purposes. She has provided wonderful service and her ability to get things done quickly and flawlessly is unsurpassed. She is an absolute delight to work with, and a bubbly personality. She is good and she is fun and I have enjoyed all the interaction I have had with her over the years.
Becky and her wonderful TA team have looked after our family’s travel needs since 2009. We benefit from Becky’s inspiring sense of adventure and her personal travel experiences every time that we are fortunate enough to plan a holiday ~ from Fiji to much further afield with trips to Italy, Bali, Japan, Thailand, Spain, Singapore, Portugal, Malaysia, Mongolia, India and soon to Ireland. Becky also curated a wonderful tour closer to home, with excellent bespoke experiences, through the Northern Territory in 2024.
Becky’s friendly client service and highly responsive work ethic are second to none. She has a wealth of knowledge, which is super beneficial for us when it’s coupled with her extensive industry contacts.
On the rare occasion that we have experienced a travel hiccup, Becky and her team have quickly resolved it. We love this reassuring aspect of booking with Becky!
All in all, we value Becky's personal approach to our family travels, and appreciate the level of excitement + professionalism that she brings to planning our adventures.
We are huge fans of Becky and cannot recommend her and her great team highly enough. We first met Becky in mid 2000 (nearly 25 years ago!) when she was just a junior assistant in the local Travel Centre in Burnside we then followed her through various placements until she opened the elite travel agency, Perchalla and Turner. Becky has been magic at sorting out all our complex and frequent business and personal travel arrangements: Vietnam to Mongolia and back via Bangladesh no problem, Lesotho and Rwanda (help I’ve been bounced off my flight – was quickly sorted I arrived back in Adelaide only an hour late!) All manner of complex and changing schedules – most sorted unbelievably quickly… in minutes, but some were declared a ‘two-coffee task’! Becky is always so positive, helpful and flexible, quickly finding options that best suit our needs. Becky you are magic and we love you and your team so much. Thank you for all you’ve done for us and still do for us. Good luck to you and your team in the future – John Weaver in Majuro, Marshall Islands (a week’s work here)
