About AOT

When it comes to travel in Australia and New Zealand, the AOT Group has got it covered.

One of Australia and New Zealand's largest travel companies, the AOT Group is a multi-channel distributor of the best Australian and New Zealand travel product - from accommodation and tours, to car hire, flights and attractions.

The diverse nature of our multi-channel travel business means that we can cater to the needs of all our valued stakeholders. Strong distribution networks worldwide ensure that we can provide mutually beneficial solutions for suppliers, travel agents and travellers.

We offer complete Australian and New Zealand holiday solutions for a divergent range of travellers whether they be independent leisure travellers from home or abroad, groups, conference delegates or incentive winners. We also offer a range of distribution channels to suit travellers' geographic locations, lifestyles and needs - from consumer and agent websites, retail stores and centralised reservations centres based in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Auckland.

Australia's number one inbound operator, the AOT Group is widely recognised internationally and includes some of the largest tourism wholesalers as partners.

The group operates three established inbound brands, AOT Inbound (AOTi), AOT New Zealand (AOT NZ) including its Incentive Division which offers specialised destination management services for incoming incentive and conference groups in Australia and New Zealand, as well as shore excursions for visiting cruise ships, and AOT Online, one of the world's most sophisticated travel trade booking engines.

A leader in online travel, we operate our own last-minute accommodation site needitnow.com.au and a year round travel services travelmate.com.au. Our online division has also expanded recently securing gostay.com.au on behalf of Sensis. We also provide tourism product for other leading websites in Australia and abroad.

The group is also an award-winning wholesaler operating three respected brands, New South Wales Holidays (including NSW and Canberra), Sunlover Holidays (specialising in Queensland holidays) and Travelpoint Holidays which provides holiday solutions to all other states around Australia. The group maintains successful partnerships with Australia's leading travel agency businesses. The strengthening of our distribution networks now sees all three of these brands available for sale throughout Australia and New Zealand. Sunlover Holidays is the recognised leader in selling Queensland holidays throughout Australia and New Zealand. In June 2006, the group produced a new 220 page Sunlover Holidays International brochure for global distribution.

We are also a travel retailer, with four retail outlets based around Australia - in Canberra, Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne. A fifth store, in Brisbane, is due to open in February 2007.

The AOT Group employs 450 staff and has offices in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Auckland. It also employs staff in London, Scotland and San Diego. Our agents' sales representatives are located throughout Australia and New Zealand.

AOT is one of the most successful private travel businesses in Australia today.
