Dan Carter fronts NZ launch of Aussie travel agent

Australia’s fastest growing online travel company, TripADeal, has announced its launch into the New Zealand market. 

TripADeal aims to shake up the way New Zealanders book and experience travel, with a range of deals to the world’s desirable locations – all flying from New Zealand.  

To coincide with the launch, Rugby Union legend Dan Carter has been announced as the New Zealand Brand Ambassador, helping TripADeal cross the Tasman to link New Zealanders with its global travel deals. 

“I’m excited to be partnering with TripADeal. As a rugby player, I have been lucky enough to travel to so many amazing places around the world, so it is an important part of my life,” Carter says. 

The Byron Bay based travel company, which was recently named the sixth fastest growing business in the AsiaPacific Region by the London Financial Times and the Australian Financial Review’s Top 100 Fastest Growing Company two years in a row, has so far sent more than 60,000 travellers around the globe. 

TripADeal’s Tour, Cruise and Escape offerings are designed to appeal to every kind of traveller.
“We are beyond excited to launch into New Zealand.” says TripADeal Co-Founder, Richard Johnston. “I think New Zealand travellers have a very similar mindset to Australians, we both want to see the world, expand our knowledge and understanding of other cultures, and do it at a price that doesn’t break the bank.” 

“We’re especially excited to be working with Dan, one of the world’s greatest sportsmen. Dan’s values as a player and as a great all-round guy align perfectly with the values of TripADeal; a trusted travel company which will help make travel dreams that were previously thought impossible, possible,” says Johnston. 

TripADeal Co-Founder, Norm Black says of the launch, “The move to bring TripADeal into New Zealand was also a nod to our Kiwi team members. We have so many fantastic Kiwis on our team and they’ve been such an integral part of TripADeal’s success, so it was an easy decision for us to launch across the ditch”.
