About Us
After spending 16 years working in boarding school admissions, Phil Dunbridge founded Travel Admit Global (TAG) to simplify travel for admissions officers. TAG was designed to help admissions counselors focus on what truly matters—recruiting students—while leaving the logistics to a company that understands their needs. As a former admissions counselor himself, Phil built TAG with one goal in mind: to make sure his fellow counselors are always the top priority.
