Our History

Montecito Village Travel was founded in 1972 by Phil and Louise Emrich, who opened a single storefront travel agency on California’s Central Coast. Under their leadership, MVT grew into a 16-location full-service operation serving the region. Colin Weatherhead joined the company in 1988 and purchased MVT from the Emrichs in 1995, guiding the agency through the digital era and growing annual sales from roughly $18 million to more than $600 million.

Today, Montecito Village Travel is one of the principal upscale travel companies in the United States and a proud member of Virtuoso, the world’s most prestigious leisure travel network. True to its long-standing motto — “Large Enough to Matter, Small Enough to Care” — MVT has grown from a local storefront into a nationwide network of top travel advisors while keeping its founding commitment to service at the center of everything.
