A press release from AAT Kings

AAT Kings is excited to announce the **launch of its new website **for both AAT Kings and Inspiring Journeys, offering an enhanced user experience for both travel agents and guests. This marks another step in the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation and providing improved services at every touchpoint.

Agents and travellers will experience a sleek and intuitive website that simplifies searches, allows for more dynamic content, and introduces personalised touchpoints. In addition to these enhancements, the website features Storybook for AAT Kings and Journal for Inspiring Journeys—new blogs designed as hubs of travel information.

In a major enhancement for trade partners, AAT Kings’ Guided Holidays and Inspiring Journeys products are now fully bookable through The Travel Corporation’s Travel Agent Portal (TAP). This integration aligns with sister TTC brands, ensuring that agents have a seamless experience across all TTC brands and can easily access all essential information and booking tools in one streamlined platform.

Through TAP, travel agents can:

• Book AAT Kings First Choice, Best Buys and Day Tours
• Book Inspiring Journeys itineraries
• Make payments
• Search past bookings
• Access the latest deals for both brands

Agents already registered on TAP with TTC’s Single Sign-On (SSO) can continue using their existing login credentials to book AAT Kings and Inspiring Journeys products. For agents new to the portal, signing up is quick and simple: https://agents.ttc.com/login

Agents are encouraged to reach out to their AAT Kings Sales Manager if additional support is needed, including login assistance or training.

“AAT Kings continues to innovate each year, focusing on how we can better support our agents and guests at every step. Moving our bookings to the TTC Travel Agent Portal (TAP) is just another way we’re streamlining the booking experience for our agents,” said Ben Hall, CEO of AAT Kings Group. “We are committed to providing our partners with the tools they need to deliver exceptional travel experiences.”

AAT Kings’ A-LIST ACCESS podcast has provided agents over the past twelve months with insights into travel trends, selling tips, destination information, sustainable travel advice and more. In celebration of the podcast’s first anniversary, with over 1,300 downloads globally, AAT Kings is releasing another tool: A-LISTERS ACCESS ALL AREAS. This Travel Adviser’s go-to guide is a handy follow-up document to the podcast, offering insight into the Guided Holiday customer, the benefits of selling AAT Kings Group, and results from a recent customer survey which reveals why guests book Guided Holidays. You can find this new document and information on the podcast series at aatkings.com/alisters.

About AAT Kings:

A century ago, the Australian outback was but a twinkle in most travellers’ eyes. But thanks to visionaries like the Pyke family and Bill King, the way we explore the Land Down Under was about to change in unimaginable ways. Over the coming decades, maps were unfolded, desert cruisers and coaches were customised, and guides were trained. From humble beginnings, the company now known as AAT Kings was going places few had gone before, pioneering new paths across Australia and New Zealand and taking intrepid travellers on a wild and wonderful ride.

We’ve come a long way and clocked a few kilometres in the process. But some things will never change. Like our spirit for adventure. Our oh-so-knowledgeable Directors. The local characters we meet (and will never forget) along the way. The epic, goosebump-inducing stories we’re told by First Nations guides. The life-changing experiences on offer – the kind that only 100 years of exploring affords. We’ve never been more passionate about our next discovery. Join us, and fall in love with Australia and New Zealand all over again.
