TruTravels has taken a major step in strengthening ties with the Australian travel trade by launching its first-ever Australia-based reservations department.

Now offering a dedicated local phone line (1300 893 808) and in-market support, the move promises quicker service and better access for agents across the country. Spearheading the expansion is Drew Appleton, TruTravels’ newly appointed Sales Executive for Australia. Drew brings over 10 years of experience in the travel industry, having held roles across Flight Centre’s suite of brands including Escape Travel, Flight Centre Tailor Made, and Universal Traveller.

Drew’s travel credentials are impressive, with more than 50 countries under his belt and time spent living in Vietnam, Thailand and South Korea. His career has spanned education, disaster recovery, and even TV presenting—making him well-placed to support Aussie agents and inspire their clients.

The new local support hub is open Monday to Friday, 9:30am to 5:00pm AEST (excluding public holidays), and agents can connect with the reservations team via:

To sweeten the deal, TruTravels is continuing its popular incentive: book five passengers within any six-month period and score a free trip. Agents simply need to email the team to claim their reward.
