Paul Smith has been in the travel game for over 30 years – and he’s still as passionate about creating unforgettable weekends as the day he started. At just 18, Paul swapped the UK for the sunny shores of Tenerife, Benidorm, and Mexico as a holiday rep, quickly earning a reputation for his energy, humour, and knack for making every trip one to remember.
From there, he moved into management with Thomas Cook, sharpening his skills in travel operations, customer care, and running things like clockwork.
The spark for Infinity Weekends came over 20 years ago in Benidorm, when Paul spotted stag and hen groups arriving in droves with no specialist company to look after them. With budget airlines like Ryanair and easyJet making weekend escapes more affordable, he saw the perfect opportunity – and ran with it.
Today, Infinity Weekends is Europe’s largest stag and hen provider, operating in over 30 destinations in the UK and abroad. The company is known for exclusive events, unbeatable local knowledge, and a team that’s lived and breathed every destination they sell.
Paul’s philosophy is simple: every group deserves a stress-free, expertly planned trip from start to finish. With thousands of beds at their fingertips, trusted partners across Europe, and a crew with serious travel chops, Infinity Weekends delivers the kind of weekends you’ll be talking about for years.
