Our Story
Our Roots
American Dream
Immigrating from Armenia to the land of opportunity, 25-year old Vic Sarkisyan found himself in Glendale, CA with a strong passion for travel. An individual determined to change the tourism industry, Vic opened the doors in 1993 with nothing but a desk to his name.
​
Although the business was operating at a loss for the first few years, his persistence in providing travelers with a better experience was vivid, as he worked two other minimum-wage jobs to scrape up enough cash to sustain the monthly rent.
Our Foundation
Hard Work Pays Off
As several years passed by, SVH Travel began making a name for itself in the local community. Business exponentially grew as travelers began spreading the word of their positive experiences.
​
To ensure the highest level of service, Vic always redirected the office phone to his cellular, in the case of emergency calls. SVH Travel was responsive 24 hours-a-day. By 2007, we were awarded Apple Vacation's Crystal Agency Award, which officially signified the firm as one the America's top travel companies.
Our Mission
