“The old meets the new with this new working space. We’ve got our original tour bus out the front and this contemporary, bright, open, and collaborative space within,” said David Cox, CEO of APT Travel Group, addressing the 150+ attendees of the opening.

“This new space represents more than just a new office – it’s a bold investment in our people. It’s designed to foster collaboration, spark innovation, and empower our talented team to deliver unparalleled experiences for our guests. This space sets them up to continue achieving exactly that.”

Lou Tandy emphasised the significance of all the innovations from APT Travel Group.

“We’ve always been an ambitious company and next year we will see a lot of exciting new things. We’ve got new ships, new marketing, new technology and we kick it all off here with a new office. It really is a new dawn and this office heralds in our next phase as a growing and ambitious company.”

Robert McGeary underscored the strategic importance of the new Moorabbin headquarters.

“You don’t do this every day, so this is a very special milestone for us,” McGeary said. “The move reflects our long-term vision as we have organically grown, evolving to bring our team together in one great space. The new office is designed not just for today, but to position APT Travel Group for future growth and success, ensuring we remain at the forefront of the travel industry.”

APT Travel Group’s brands include APT, Travelmarvel, Captain’s Choice, Botanica, Antarctic Flights and their charitable arm, The OneTomorrow Charitable Fund.
