Why book with us

We have been creating overseas and Australia-based destination events for our clients for well over a decade. Our clients continue to engage us for their annual events year after year.

We organise large events for clients like McDonalds, Ronald McDonald House Charities Australia and Toyota. Read what they have to say about our service.

Our specialisation with reward travel means you can book portions of your event – like flights and accommodation – with your American Express Membership Rewards or other travel rewards programs.

We’re part of the exclusive, world renowned Virtuoso® travel network. This grants you access to some of the world’s most amazing opportunities and complimentary perks. We use our network privileges and connections to make your event extra special. Read more about the benefits of our Virtuoso partnership.

We love arranging “bleisure” holidays as well. (That’s business and leisure combined!) Our clients often arrange business conferences or retreats for employees, and carry on before or after the event by themselves or with their families for a holiday.

We moved all our travel arrangements over to the Well Connected Traveller around 2 years ago, because we were finding that we just weren’t getting the level of service that we wanted. Moving over has opened our eyes to how it should be. The main point of difference for us has been the ability to speak to someone at any time to be able to get things done. In addition, the knowledge around global locations of which hotels to go for and which ones to avoid has also been very helpful. We have also had the team book several corporate functions, which have been done with terrific attention to detail, and been able to cater for individual needs. I can thoroughly recommend the services of The Well Connected Traveller.

On behalf of Pure Allstars and the athletes on Pure Allstars Perfection, we want to thank Jodie and Jo from TWCT for our group trip to Dallas, Texas & Orlando, Florida. They were both friendly and professional in all of our exchanges throughout the planning stages. Jo and Jodie involved us in all facets of planning, listened carefully to our requirements and tailored our trip perfectly. The end result was an impeccably, smooth and stress free trip for everyone involved. There were absolutely no issues with transport, accommodation or extra activities they had booked for us. TWCT even organised a staff member to meet us in the USA and lead us around. This allowed us to just enjoy the whole trip and live in the moment. We would highly recommend using TWCT for all your travel needs. being the 4th travel agent we have been to, we will only be using their services for future travel.

Toyota WA engaged the services of TWCT for an executive weekend getaway in the South West of WA. Our request was to scope out an appropriate level of accommodation, restaurants/ wineries, transfers, along with an evening at the chosen accommodation which involved a private chef to cater and live entertainment. Jodie and her team provided numerous alternatives in response to our scope and worked closely with us to ensure their suitability for our group and our budget. The result was an outstanding weekend for those that attended and the representatives that were on the ground for this event ensured all our requirements were met and that each venue were completely briefed prior to our attendance, ensuring each venue treated our guests as VIPs.

It truly was a mind blowing trip!! The Safari experience particularly …..to get so up close and personal and experience those beautiful animals in their natural habitat was totally surreal!!! And then beautiful Cape Town!!! WOW !! All six of us felt so safe and welcomed by the beautiful people and the delicious cuisine and wines. It’s a must place to head back to with our families!! Well done!
