Journey Beyond has made its first international acquisition, acquiring New Zealand coach touring company Grand Pacific Tours for an undisclosed sum.
The Kiwi business currently offers Ultimate Small Group Tours on its exclusive Business class coaches, as well as Signature Mid-Size group tours, which offers premium economy trips on board custom-designed 32-seater coaches.
“Get ready for an exciting new chapter in experiential travel as Journey Beyond invites explorers to discover New Zealand like never before,” Journey Beyond CEO Chris Tallent said.
Grand Pacific Tours will join Australia’s leading experiential tourism group’s burgeoning portfolio of tourism experiences in September.
The expansion into NZ follows a flurry of acquisition activity from Journey Beyond, owners of The Ghan, Great Southern and Indian Pacific. They most recently purchased Western Australian marine tourist attraction Exmouth Dive & Whalesharks Ningaloo in July.
