Local Ensemble Travel Group operations to be discontinued from 01 May.
Ensemble Travel Group has just confirmed the closure of its Sydney-based Australian and New Zealand regional office at the end of the month, about five years after launching the local operation.
The North America-based consortium employed three people in Australia, with CEO David Harris saying “over the past five years, Ensemble has pursued several viable business opportunities including expansion in Australia and New Zealand.
“But, as our goal is always to operate a profitable model for our members, due to the current difficulties our industry is facing globally we regretfully have had to make the difficult business decision to discontinue our operations in the market.
“While we are disappointed to be leaving ANZ, we want to convey our sincere appreciation to the team who worked passionately to build the business…and of course to the 44 member agencies who had engaged with our Ensemble programs,” Harris said.
Those local agencies included Phil Hoffmann Travel, TravelManagers and members of the CT Partners group.
