Vacations For Less, Inc. is a family-owned travel company that has been sending travelers abroad since 1995. We started as a tour operator selling vacation packages to Mexico. Today we run three specialized travel brands: destination weddings, faith-based tours of the Holy Land and the Middle East, and Spanish-language guided tours around the world.
Every brand is backed by the same company, the same California registration, and the same small team that answers the phone.

How we got here
Our history is the reason each of our brands exists. Each step grew out of what we already knew well.

1995
A Mexico tour operator
Teresa Stauring founded Vacations For Less as a tour operator selling air-and-hotel packages to Mexico, building on her years at Mexicana Airlines and Mexico Tourism Consultants.

Weddings
Destination wedding specialists
Our knowledge of resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean led us into destination weddings, which became the company's specialty and grew into VFL Destination Weddings.
-
Faith
Holy Land and faith-based travel
We launched Israel Tourism Consultants for faith-based travel to Israel, Jordan, Egypt, and beyond. Today it runs Holy Land Tours Travel for Christian travelers in English and Tierra Santa Israel for pilgrims in Spanish.
