Owners of The Ghan and Indian Pacific undertake major NZ play.
Journey Beyond has made its first acquisition outside of Australia, acquiring New Zealand coach touring company Grand Pacific Tours for an undisclosed sum.
The Kiwi business currently offers Ultimate Small Group Tours on its exclusive Business class coaches, as well as Signature Mid-Size group tours, which offers premium economy trips on board custom-designed 32-seater coaches.
“Get ready for an exciting new chapter in experiential travel as Journey Beyond invites explorers to discover New Zealand like never before,” Journey Beyond CEO Chris Tallent said.
The expansion into NZ follows a flurry of acquisition activity from Journey Beyond, most recently purchasing Western Australian marine tourist attraction Exmouth Dive & Whalesharks Ningaloo in July.
Grand Pacific Tours will join Journey Beyond’s burgeoning portfolio of tourism experiences in September.
