The Travel Corporation (TTC) is pleased to announce its impending release of its expanded domestic guided holidays range, across multiple brands.

Matthew Cameron-Smith, CEO of the AAT Kings Group, confirmed the company will be managing the ground handling services for its sister companies in Australia and New Zealand. This includes Trafalgar, Insight Vacations and Luxury Gold; with Contiki also expanding its trip choices with the additional option of rail in some areas.

The AAT Kings Group has redesigned and enhanced its Operations to adhere to expected new government standards for an effective and seamless traveller’s experience with their well-being in mind. This includes all staff partaking in COVID-19 training and ensuring its entire supply chain complies with updated travel policies and requirements.

The network and infrastructure are in place, with trips adapted to include experiences that celebrate the locals of the destination – connecting travellers to experiences they couldn’t typically access themselves, giving agents an edge and the ability to genuinely add value to a domestic booking.

Cameron-Smith comments: “Agents and guests will be able to redeem existing Future Travel Credits on available travel in Australia. We’re showing our commitment to the domestic market and our agent network by expanding our footprint by introducing new trips and growing on our existing portfolio.” 

This domestic pivot gives TTC brands the largest touring network in Australia, offering more choice and variety to agents and travellers. The trips will offer all of the unique selling points the brands are renowned for, whilst ensuring the offering appeals to the local market.

Cameron-Smith adds, “We live and breathe these communities that we visit and strongly believe in tourism and the very positive role it plays in the economic recovery. Expanding our portfolio is the best way that we know how to help, as we work with the industry in supporting our fellow Australians to get back on their feet for the long-term and to help kick start domestic and then international tourism.”

TTC hopes to launch the domestic touring range within the coming weeks, in line with the easing of travel restrictions. In due course once Trans-Tasman flights resume, the brands will expand its New Zealand range for Australian travellers.
