AUSTRALIAN-OWNED INBOUND SPECIALISTS

About Australia and Beyond Holidays

Founded in 2016, AABH is an Australian-owned inbound travel management company with over 30 years of collective team experience. We specialise in tailor-made itineraries, group travel, and MICE programmes for the global travel trade – backed by proprietary booking technology and offices across Australia, New Zealand, Japan, India, and the Middle East.

Exceptional travel experiences built on local knowledge and trade expertise

Australia and Beyond Holidays exists for one reason – to help travel agents and tour operators deliver outstanding inbound travel programmes to their clients. We build tailor-made itineraries that showcase the very best of Australia and New Zealand, and we back them with the kind of local knowledge that only comes from decades on the ground.

Our team brings more than 30 years of collective experience in inbound tourism. Senior leadership backgrounds include roles at Qantas Holidays, Tour East Australia, and Experience Tours Australia. That depth of experience shapes everything we do, from itinerary design through to on-the-ground execution. We serve travel agents across China, India, Japan, the UK, USA, Canada, South East Asia, and the Middle East. Our multilingual team (English and Chinese) and offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Gold Coast, Tokyo, India, and Auckland mean we’re close to the markets that matter most to our partners.
