Who is Travelworld?
Travelworld is a powerful and profitable force in the retail travel industry.
We are pursuing a reputation for being a sophisticated and contemporary operator. Our approach to customer relationships, whether electronically or physically, ensures customers thoroughly enjoy the style in which their pre trip experience is delivered.
Travelworld is a franchise group owned by Jetset Travelworld Ltd, Australias largest travel agency group.
Our size brings enormous benefits to customers and franchisees. We have special arrangements with the best wholesale travel companies around the world ensuring you get the best value and the best product.
We have partnerships with Qantas, Trafalgar, Contiki, Sunlover, Avis and other well known wholesalers. Our relationships with these suppliers make it easier for you and it costs less, because we buy in bulk.
The Travelworld Group began in 1977 and was partly owned by Queensland Newspapers. The amalgamation of Travelworld Pty Limited, National World Travel and two thirds of Traveland franchisees, brings together some of Australias oldest, most highly respected and award winning travel operators.
We have over 300 independently owned travel centres throughout Australia with estimated current annual sales in excess of $750,000,000.
The Groups development strategy is to continue to build the brand by acquiring existing travel centres and assisting to establish business owners in new centres.
Travelworld delivers a browsing and shopping experience that provides a unique market position.
Travelworld travel centres provide advice, information and bookings for airfares, holidays, business trips, accommodation, car hire, travel insurance and package tours to anywhere in the world.
Consultants are well trained travel experts. They travel for work too, so they can give the best advice. Some consultants specialize in certain products and destinations, and others try to keep a broad view of the travel experiences available.
Every Travelworld centre has access to over one million air fares through our unique database, state of the art systems to give access to other specials and deals.
Travelworld centres specialize in package tours, independent travel, cruising, and airfares.
Because all Travelworld centres are franchised they are on the whole managed by the people who own them. That ensures you get personal service. They want to keep doing business with you, so they make sure the service is excellent and the price is competitive.
Travelworld is committed to delivering a clear strategy for the future. Long term our vision is to position Travelworld as the leader in the travel industry, but to do this, we will focus our attention on the critical issues that must be addressed immediately. The four key priorities are:
1) Developing a strong brand
The travel industry is already recognising Travelworld as a strong agency group in its own right, but we must position our brand very clearly in the minds of the travelling public. We will be undertaking a major strategic campaign that all franchisees, management and staff will participate in.
2) Developing a Travelworld culture and identity
Developing a culture within any business is driven by the people within the business. It is based on how we work together and already people are recognising Travelworld as a group working cohesively and diligently while having some fun at the same time.
3) Implementing operational support
Travelworld has undergone a massive transformation over the past six months and we are implementing new systems to manage this growth. This includes implementing a single database to allow us to monitor sales and to understand our financial performance at any moment in time.
4) Supporting franchisees
Franchisees and their businesses are our key priority. Travelworld will work closely with them to build the value proposition so they receive the best commissions, alternative revenue sources, and reap the benefits of our buying potential.
