Tony Evans, Travel Directors’ Tours Director and beloved inspiration, has passed away suddenly, leaving behind a legacy that will be remembered for years. Tony was the heart and soul of Travel Directors, a family of overseas operators, tour leaders, and guides that he built with his passion for travel and his desire to show the world to those who travelled with him.
Tony was a larger-than-life character whose greatest passion was travel. He believed in immersing his clients in cultures and experiences to help them understand the differences and similarities of human beings worldwide. For Tony, the world was his workplace, and he made friends wherever he went. His warmth, humour, and kindness endeared him to many people around the globe.
The news of his passing came as a shock to all who knew him. Everyone from the overseas operators, tour leaders, and guides to those in Perth is trying to come to terms with the loss of this great man. He made many friends worldwide and was known for his outgoing personality, making him a joy to be around.
Tony was proud of his company and the unique tours he created. His legacy will live on in the memories of past travellers and those who will, as he would say, ‘see the world the way it should be seen’. He was a passionate traveller who believed seeing the world was essential to understanding it. Tony’s vision of travel and commitment to his clients will be remembered for years.
All of us in the Travel Directors family will continue to give our all to keep Tony’s rich legacy alive, as he would want. We will continue providing unique tours that immerse our clients in the cultures and experiences Tony loved so much. Our overseas operators, tour leaders, and guides will carry on his legacy by showing the world to those who want to see it in all its beauty and diversity.
In conclusion, Tony Evans was a passionate traveller, a larger-than-life character, and the heart and soul of Travel Directors. He made many friends around the world, and his legacy will be remembered for years to come. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him, but his vision of travel will continue to inspire us to see the world as it should be. Rest in peace, Tony.
