Itchin' 2 Go Travel started their home-based travel agency in 2008. We began the travel business in a downturn economy which, in regards to travel, was probably the worst time to start a business. However, recession or downturns historically have proven to be the breeding ground for successful business in every industry.
 
Itchin' 2 Go Travel has experienced that kind of history. Becoming known, and finding our place in the travel landscape has been good.
