Our Background
Priority 1 Travel was founded by Dale Holsti, a 27-year first responder and 13-year travel specialist who built his career on trust, precision, and showing up when it matters most. What started as a mission to serve first responders has grown into a global travel advisory serving clients across the country and around the world. The heart hasn't changed — only the reach.
We believe travel isn't just about booking a trip. It's about advocacy. Strategy. Protection. Details done right the first time. The same mindset required in emergency services now powers every itinerary we design.
Priority 1 Travel is proudly a 'one-man band' — but when you work with us, you work directly with the owner. No call centers. No hand-offs. No guesswork. Just experienced guidance and personal accountability from start to finish.
Life is short. The world is massive. Let's see it the right way.
