Member TRAVEL Businesses

​

The Travel Collective by Globe Trotters is an independent travel agency group supporting travel entrepreneurs, from home-based sole traders to multi-branch agencies.

We support both leisure and corporate member agencies across Australia who operate under their own brand and benefit from our competitive commercial offering.  We also have an international offering for agencies that operations outside of Australia. Our members have access to the widest range of products and some of the most competitive rates available Australia-wide, thanks to our strength in the market, our global fares and our strong supplier relationships. We believe if you are just starting out in the independent space or are a well established agency we are the right fit for you. We offer a mentor for the smaller businesses to grow into the larger more established ones. Our collective experience sets us apart from the other broker based businesses due to the fact you are not just a number and your experience helps the collective grow and thrive
