Guests from across the travel industry gathered on Wednesday evening to celebrate the opening of The Travel Corporation’s (TTC) new Oceania headquarters in Sydney’s CBD, marking the company’s next chapter following its move from Bondi after 26 years.
Held at Level 21, 321 Kent Street, the event welcomed travel advisors, supplier partners and industry colleagues to the new offices overlooking Darling Harbour, where attendees were given a first look at the space that now houses all of TTC’s Sydney-based brands and teams.
Welcoming guests, TTC managing director Toni Ambler thanked the industry for its ongoing support and invited partners to make use of the office whenever they were in the city.
The move to the CBD brings TTC’s Sydney-based teams together on a single floor for the first time, replacing its long-standing Bondi headquarters, Travel House.
Speaking when the relocation was announced earlier this year, Ambler described the move as the beginning of a new chapter for the business under Apollo ownership.
“Travel House has played an important role in our history and in helping build some of the most iconic brands in the travel industry,” she said at the time.
“As we move into 321 Kent Street, we are entering a new chapter for TTC under Apollo ownership – one focused on growth, investment, adaptation and continued brand evolution in an ever-changing industry.”
TTC previously said bringing its brands together on one floor would encourage greater collaboration across the business.
AAT Kings chief executive Ben Hall said at the time that the new layout would create a more connected team and enable greater sharing of best practice across the company’s portfolio.
The company confirmed Sydney-based employees have been operating from the Kent Street headquarters since 9 June, with Wednesday’s housewarming event providing the first opportunity for the wider travel industry to celebrate the new office alongside TTC’s leadership team.
