Grand Launch of Toujours Travel and Tours (Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City, Metro Manila)

There’s a new but somewhat different player in the travel and tour industry - Toujours Travel and Tours.  Ms. Abigail Mae Fuentes Selma, its CEO and President, with over 20 years of experience as a Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Executive, has traveled extensively around the world conducting Quality and Supplier Audits. She played a pivotal role in building Quality Systems for various startups, many of which have been successfully acquired by multiple Fortune 100 companies. Her expertise in regulatory compliance, operational excellence, strategic business development, and ISO Quality Standards, focused on customer service and continuous improvements, have been instrumental in ensuring the success and reliability of every organization she has led.

These global experiences not only honed her eye for detail and commitment to excellence but also ignited a lifelong passion for travel. Inspired by the cultures she encountered and the importance of seamless, accessible journeys, Abigail envisioned creating a travel company that prioritized quality, inclusivity, and client satisfaction. Together with friend and business partner Ms. Jhona Viscarra, they decided to set up their own travel agency which they named as Toujours Travel and Tours.  Abi finally met Jhona, her trusted virtual Travel Consultant for the longest time, in person in 2024.  This led to a discussion about founding Toujours Travel and Tours and, on February 17, 2025 , they got incorporated and became SelCarra Global Corporation.

Just like other tour agencies, it offers their clients a chance to break free from the monotony of everyday life and experience new cultures, sights, and sounds, thus broadening their perspectives, challenging their preconceived notions, and allowing them to witness the vast tapestry of human experience that exists beyond their own backyards by stepping outside the familiar comfort of their routines and plunging into the unknown, whether it's exploring ancient ruins, navigating bustling markets, or simply savoring the flavors of a foreign cuisine.

Traveling for fun and adventure, an education unlike any other, brings benefits to our total wellbeing. It ignites our curiosity, fuels a deeper understanding of the world and our place within it, and leaves us with indelible memories and a profound appreciation for the diverse beauty of our planet.

Founded on the belief that travel should be accessible, inclusive, and stress-free for everyone, what probably sets Toujours Travel and Tours apart from the others is that it wants to make travel available to all and that includes travelers with special requirements - the sick and those facing physical challenges or having restricted mobility but still want to travel. For these people, travelling can still be an incredibly rewarding experience which can be mentally stimulating and uplifting and can, potentially, even aid in their recovery. It also provides a sense of accomplishment and independence, fostering a positive attitude and boosting self-esteem.

Electric Garden

Abi knows this all too well. Her journey became even more personal after undergoing open-heart surgery, which made traveling more challenging. She also experienced, firsthand, the difficulties travelers with special requirements face, witnessing her own mother’s and mother-in-law’s struggles with limited mobility.  This strengthened her resolve to open Toujours Travel and Tours.

 

Guests at the Grand Launch

During the formal opening of the agency at its BGC headquarters last April 29 (with Grand Launch held at the nearby Electric Garden), Abi explained that “Traveling with elderly individuals, those who are ill, or people with special needs requires careful planning and consideration to ensure a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable journey. With accessible travel options and thoughtful consideration of one's limitations, the world can still be open and full of wonder, offering unforgettable memories and enriching perspectives, regardless of physical challenges." 

Under the direction of this visionary leader, the company will continue to expand its reach, with plans to open a satellite office in Cebu City by the end of year and another one in California by the beginning of 2026, thus offering clients seamless and stress-free travel experiences worldwide. Abi’s dedication to innovation and client-focused services makes her an inspiring entrepreneur in the travel sector.
