Harbour cities, reef, outback and alpine scenery — the great southern journey, handled end to end.
Represented by Australia & Worldwide Travel (AWWT)Australia and New Zealand are the aspiration booking for GCC clients — the long-haul journey saved for milestone honeymoons, extended family summers and once-in-a-lifetime touring. Through our representation of Australia & Worldwide Travel (AWWT), a Sydney-headquartered inbound tour operator that already counts the Middle East among its core source markets, agents get trade-first ground handling across Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific: tailor-made holidays, series groups and full MICE programmes, built by a leadership team with decades at Qantas Holidays and Emirates. With nonstop Gulf flights into Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, the logistics are simpler than clients expect — and the selling season is exactly opposite to the Gulf's, making December-to-February the perfect winter-break pitch.
The on-the-ground partner behind every Australia & New Zealand itinerary we package.
Australia & Worldwide Travel Pty. Ltd. — AWWT — is an inbound tour operator and destination management company specialising in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific. Founded in April 2022 and headquartered on George Street in Sydney, with a branch office in Melbourne and a sales office in Mumbai, the company is built for the trade: it partners with travel agents to design and operate itineraries, serving source markets across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, India and the South Pacific.
The leadership brings serious pedigree. Managing partner Leon Ellas has over 40 years in travel including Qantas Holidays in Australia and the UK, while fellow managing partner Ian D'Nazareth carries over 25 years of international experience including Emirates Airlines in Dubai — a direct line into how the Gulf market travels. Sumaira Kabir heads sales from Mumbai with more than 20 years in the industry, including Tourism Australia's India office.
Service lines cover tailor-made holidays, leisure and series groups, and MICE and special-interest groups — meetings, incentives, corporate events, hotel and venue selection, entertainment, team building and AV management. On the ground, AWWT handles transfers, activities, local experiences and restaurant recommendations, so a Gulf agent can deliver a fully organised programme from airport arrival to the last night's dinner.

What GCC agents ask us most about Australia & New Zealand.
Approximately 13.5 to 14.5 hours nonstop from Dubai to Sydney or Melbourne, with Brisbane also served nonstop; Auckland is around 17+ hours, typically one-stop or on the long nonstop when it operates. Emirates' network makes single-carrier routings straightforward for Gulf clients.
For Australia, UAE citizens are eligible for the Electronic Travel Authority while other GCC nationals generally apply online for a Visitor visa (subclass 600). For New Zealand, UAE citizens travel visa-waiver with an NZeTA while most other GCC nationals need a visitor visa. Requirements change and vary by nationality — confirm current rules for your client with our team at booking.

Yes. Alongside tailor-made holidays, AWWT runs leisure and series groups plus a dedicated MICE and special-interest capability — meetings, incentives, corporate events, hotel and venue selection, entertainment, team building and AV management — with ground handling for transfers, activities and dining throughout.
