by Rose White
Signature Travel Network has confirmed the addition of four Australia-based International Affiliates to its travel agency network in 2024, with a fifth joining in the New Year. The agencies are among the latest tranche of 13 newcomers welcomed into the network.
The new members in Australia include Maxim’s Travel and Solve Travel Management, both in Sydney; Lexus Travel Management in Melbourne and Travelling, from Biggera Waters in Queensland. Three of those – Maxims, Solve and Lexus, are all members of Link Travel Group. Travelling is headed by Jenny Bevan who was previously with the Virtuoso loyalist, Main Beach Travel. Each of these agencies have been aligned with Magellan Travel, which is owned by Helloworld Travel Group.
In the wings and set to add further weight to Signature Travel Network’s presence Down Under is First Class Travel in Sydney. First Class Travel is an independent luxury travel agency, founded by Tina Tong in 2003.

“This strategic growth allows us to better serve luxury travellers while providing our members with unparalleled resources and networking opportunities.”
New member Christen Perry of Classic Travel Connection shared her experience, saying: “I am thrilled to be a new member of Signature Travel Network in 2024.
“Since joining in May, the Classic Travel Connection team is still uncovering the treasures of our new partnership! The conference in Vegas was a huge highlight of our year. The opportunity to meet so many preferred suppliers, learn from incredible speakers and experts, as well as have a blast together was an invaluable experience. I am looking forward to all that our partnership holds!”
James Cole of Panache Cruises echoed Perry’s sentiment, saying: “Being accepted as part of the Signature Travel Network has undoubtedly been one of Panache Cruises’ proudest moments in our short history. Since joining, we have been astonished by the support, professionalism and opportunity that being associated with Signature has given to us. The team at Signature has made us feel very welcome, and we are truly grateful that they chose to work with us.”
