Express Travel Group Pty Ltd 338 Pitt Street, Sydney, New South Wales 2000

Welcome to Express Travel Group Pty Ltd, a proudly Australian owned and operated travel company located at 338 Pitt Street in Sydney. As the largest group of fully independent travel agencies in Australia, we have been advocating for and supporting independent travel agents since our establishment in 1983.

Led by an experienced and dedicated leadership team, we strive to facilitate meaningful growth in a changing industry through the development of industry-leading services, collaboration, tools, and technology. Each of our membership groups is unique in their customer base, branding, and culture, but they all have access to excellent benefits and exclusive preferred product agreements negotiated by Express Travel Group.

Express Tickets, our service-focused consolidation division, is backed by an advanced fares and ticketing technology platform. With direct connectivity to participating airline partners, Express Tickets provides access to competitive airfares and add-ons, with the option of "self-serve" after-sales support.

We are also Australia's most respected cruise wholesaler, partnering with leading cruise lines, hotel chains, airlines, and tour operators. Additionally, our First Travel Group (FTG) in New Zealand is dedicated to providing market efficiencies to enhance the customer experience in retail, corporate, and wholesale travel.

Headquartered in Melbourne, with representation in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth, Express Travel Group has become one of the most respected travel groups in Australia. Our core agency groups, including Select Travel Group, Independent Travel Group, Independent Travel Advisors, and the italktravel & cruise retail franchise network, represent the largest group of independent travel agencies in the country.

At Express Travel Group, we prioritize providing profitable returns for our members and rewarding remuneration for all employees. We believe in conducting business with honesty, sincerity, and dependability, always striving to be consistently good in performance and trusted by our clients. Working efficiently and effectively as one united group, we encourage innovative thinking and proactive approaches to work.

Furthermore, we are committed to supporting the needs of the wider community and helping to better our environment. With a membership base exceeding 360 agencies nationally, our Select Travel Group (STG) is one of the leading buying groups in Australia, particularly in the national Chinatown market. This culturally diverse group consists mostly of Asian travel agencies, offering services in Cantonese, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Korean, and other Asian languages.

Our rapidly growing membership base of over 250 members benefit from the power of the group, while still retaining their own brand and identity. They also have access to our national distribution platform and enjoy the support of our marketing and website services.

For those interested in becoming an italktravel & cruise franchisee, membership of this group provides a fully branded store option in an exclusive territory, along with a share in an annual bonus plan and marketing and website support. Additionally, our network of professional travel advisors focuses on creating memorable and tailored travel experiences, with the flexibility of working independently from home.
