About us
We are here for you today, tomorrow and always!
Founded in 1999 in Toronto, NSW, Australia by CEO and Managing Director Brett Dann, Hunter Travel Group (HTG) began with a simple belief - that exceptional travel is built on trusted relationships. From a single office, we have grown into one of Australia’s largest privately owned and family-managed travel groups.
In 2026, we proudly mark 26 years of continuous service, leadership and innovation in travel.
Today, HTG is a multi-award-winning group of more than 175 travel professionals across 35 locations throughout New South Wales, Queensland, Tasmania, Victoria, Western Australia and the ACT. As the largest branded member of the Helloworld Travel network, our portfolio includes Helloworld Travel HTG, RACQ Travel, RACT Travel and Cruise Travel Centre — respected brands united by deep expertise, strong community ties and a shared commitment to excellence.
Over the past decade, HTG has been awarded Australia’s Most Outstanding Travel Agency Group – Multi Location four times at the National Travel Industry Awards, including three consecutive wins and most recently in 2023. This recognition reflects not only our scale, but the consistency, care and high standards that define our business.
Our reach extends well beyond leisure retail. Through Helloworld Business Travel HTG, The Explorer Lounge, Great Events and Exclusives by HTG, we deliver tailored solutions for corporate travel, group events, premium experiences and exclusive packages unavailable elsewhere. As the Official Travel Partner of the Newcastle Knights, we proudly deliver premium sporting travel and unforgettable fan experiences that connect supporters to the moments that matter most.
With a customer membership of approximately 2 million, we are privileged to remain part of the evolving travel stories of Australians. Whether arranging a local escape, a once-in-a-lifetime global adventure or a complex multi-sector itinerary, our team brings insight, discretion and genuine care to every detail.
At HTG, our legacy has been shaped by enduring values of trust, respect, integrity, accountability and care. They guide our decisions, strengthen our partnerships and define the standard to which we hold ourselves.
We are here for you. Today. Tomorrow. Always.
Because leadership in travel is defined not by scale, but by enduring relationships and trust earned over time.
