AAT Kings offers agents chance to win trip as new season launches

Australia and New Zealand tour operator AAT Kings Group is offering UK travel agents the chance to win one of six holidays to celebrate the launch of its 2024-25 season.

Every sale will automatically go into a draw to win a land tour, with six trips up for grabs, worth a combined AUD50,000 (£26,000).

The company is also offering up to 15% off more than 400 tour departures across the group’s AAT Kings and Inspiring Journeys brands next year. The sale offer is valid until December 15.

AAT Kings Group – part of The Travel Corporation (TTC) – has released a new Aboriginal Culture & Australian Highlights escorted tour, which costs from £4,688.

The itinerary has been developed with Discover Aboriginal Experiences to identify and curate Indigenous operators and experiences.

Travelling from Melbourne to Cairns, it visits Uluru, Great Barrier Reef and Sydney Opera House.

The firm also has new Make Travel Matter experiences, supported via The TreadRight Foundation.

The Inspiring Journeys brand is offering cultural eco-tours and guided forest walks from Whirinaki Forest Footsteps, operated by Kohutapu Lodge & Tribal Tours, as part of its Long White Cloud and The Endless Shores itineraries in New Zealand.

Led by local Māori guides, the cultural walking experience takes guests into the rainforest to learn about medicinal plants and native birds.

Ben Hall, chief executive of AAT Kings, said: “We are thrilled to be celebrating our 2024-2025 season with this huge sale across most AAT Kings Group departures.

“Our UK trade partners are essential to our business.

“We continue to provide great deals for their clients and offer a renewed focus to definite departures with more than 400 locked in for launch, and more to come as the season progresses.

“With a local sales team to support them, we’re dedicated to supporting, and further growing this market.”
