World Journeys thanks trade for a great first year
By admin


As World Journeys comes up to the first anniversary of its Australian launch, director Chris Lyons has reported a “very successful” local start.

In Sydney for the launch of World Journey’s World 2016 brochure, Lyons took some time to thank the Australian travel trade.

“We’ve been truly humbled by how wonderful the response has been from the Aussie travel trade and are really grateful for those agents that have welcomed us, taken the time to understand our value proposition and work with us,” he said.

“We’ve had multiple bookings come in for all of our regions with FIT for both Japan and Canada being very strong. We already have many loyal clients.”

The company’s focus for the coming year is on “looking after our clients and ensuring our brand integrity is not compromised”.
