Delgado family’s
The Delgado family’s roots are in Spain, but Delgado Travel was born right here in New Orleans more than 50 years ago. Delgado Travel is known as “New Orleans’ hometown travel agency.” It began as a small operation run out of founder Frank Delgado’s apartment where he booked local tours to destinations like Baton Rouge Cajun Country and Florida. As word got out about their trips, they moved into larger quarters on St. Charles Avenue. Delgado opened up Delgado Cruise Lines in 1969, selling cruises to the Caribbean.
Today Delgado Travel is a family business with four Delgado brothers running divisions of one company. They are partners in their father’s business and have taken the business globally—from acquiring luxury travel agency Bon Vivant Travel to launching an international division that sends tourists all over the world through eco-tourism tours led by Delgado Adventure Outfitters. Delgados also operate Delgado Vacations, which provides unique vacation experiences for families visiting New Orleans. This allows people to get a taste of what life is like near Bourbon Street while enjoying the comforts of home away from home thanks to Delgado hotels.
Delgado Travel has earned the Delgado name a reputation for delivering award-winning vacations. It has received more industry awards than any other travel agency in New Orleans, including numerous Telly Awards, Communicator Awards, and Iris Awards.
