Heritage travel, powered by ancestry research.
The Story before the journey
Travel is powerful — but heritage travel is transformational.
Long before your clients set foot on a plane, their story was already being written. Every archive, ancestral town, and family memory has the power to turn a trip into something deeper: a journey of connection, belonging, and self-discovery.
I uncover those stories and translate them into immersive travel experiences, helping advisors deliver more than a vacation — heritage journeys where the past illuminates the present and clients return with a stronger sense of who they are.
Who Are We
At Coffey Heritage Travel, I support travel advisors with the research, storytelling, and expert guidance needed to design authentic ancestral journeys for their clients.
From tracing family lines and locating ancestral towns to building itineraries and creating narrative keepsakes, I provide the behind-the-scenes work that allows advisors to offer personal, meaningful heritage trips — without the research burden.
What makes our approach different?
A rare combination of professional genealogy, archival research, and thoughtful travel design. Every project is handled with care, accuracy, and respect — so you can present heritage itineraries with confidence.
Coffey Heritage Travel isn’t just a service — it’s a partner that helps you turn family history into unforgettable journeys.
The Missing Piece in Heritage Travel
-
Your clients aren’t just looking for trips — they’re looking for meaning and authenticity. Whether it’s grandparents, parents, and children traveling together, or individuals seeking a deeper connection, you can offer them journeys that honor the past while building legacies for the future. Heritage travel transforms vacations into powerful experiences of identity and belonging. Personal heritage journeys create higher emotional and financial value.
-
Heritage travel is on the rise, with 60% of U.S. adults expressing interest in family history (AARP). Millions already explore their roots through Ancestry.com and 23andMe, and major tour operators are marketing genealogy trips. Yet most advisors don’t have the time or tools to do the research—leaving a valuable niche underserved.
-
I bridge the gap between ancestry research and cultural travel, giving you ready-to-sell products that pair research with meaningful on-the-ground experiences. By speaking your language — commissions, packages, and seamless service — I help you deliver journeys that take your clients from “records to roots,” deepening connections while growing your business. Advisors who offer these services stand out in a crowded market.
