Who We Are — A Legacy of Exceptional Travel Service

The Travel Factory has proudly served Abilene and the Big Country for decades, evolving from its humble beginnings as Gay Travel Service, founded in 1949 by Mrs. Ruth Gay. Over the years, the agency has grown under the leadership of dedicated individuals like Frank Etter and Russell Berry, who have shaped its legacy of trust, reliability, and personalized service.

Since it transitioned to Supertravel in 1975 and then The Travel Factory in 2002, our mission has remained clear: to deliver exceptional travel experiences with the utmost care and attention to detail. Whether it’s a luxurious cruise, a family vacation, or a destination wedding, our knowledgeable team ensures every trip is seamlessly planned and unforgettable.
