Corporate Information

Welcome to NST Travel Group Plc

The NST Travel Group (NST) is Europe’s leading educational and group travel company with an annual turnover approaching £50 million and over 400 employees.

The company was established in 1967 when Vin Craven, a teacher from Blackpool, identified an opportunity within the education sector to create and sell educationally-focused travel arrangements.

Since then, NST has massively expanded its product range and its horizons and currently creates and operates curriculum-focused group travel to primary schools, secondary schools, colleges and universities plus other non-educational groups such as churches, companies, clubs and societies.  In addition, we also operate and manage our own residential education and activity centres in the UK and France.

Highly respected in both the education sector and the travel industry, NST is totally committed to providing the highest quality products with exceptional levels of customer service and at competitive prices.

Within the UK, NST is based in two locations, Blackpool (Head Office) and Cambridge.  In addition, our associate company NST Ltd, based in Dublin, represents NST in Ireland.
