Overview
The Global Touring team inspires people through life-changing travel experiences. We're a group touring company, and through our brands Topdeck Travel, Back-Roads Touring, and Grasshopper Adventures we are ever developing our product range, driving growth in our key markets (Australia, New Zealand & North America), and ensuring we deliver a first-class customer experience unique to each brand. Don't worry if you can't find Global Touring when you search – this is our internal brand; externally we only use our customer facing brands.
Topdeck, Back-Roads and Grasshopper may serve very different customers, however, our "one best way" approach is consistent and supports the strategy and activity for each brand. At Global Touring, each team member works across both of our brands with equal commitment.
