Our Philosophy:
We are singularly focused on providing guests with incredible, memorable experiences, which they would not be able to enjoy anywhere else in Australia.
We believe that travel should enrich the body, mind and spirit as symbolised through our logo:
- The hand represents the body and conveys the expanse of the Australian continent. It also recognises that, like a Voyages experience, each palm print is unique.
- The spiral represents the mind. It suggests a journey that either leads back to its core or expands beyond new horizons.
- The star represents the spirit. It is symbolic of the volume of knowledge open to us all. It also reflects the Australian Federation of States and Territories - home to our company.
Our Responsibilities:
Voyages is committed to nurturing and sharing Australia's sensitive and complex eco and cultural destinations and also to protecting them so that our guests might enjoy them for years to come. Because we feel privileged to operate in remote locations such as the Red Centre, Tasmania's Central Highlands, the Kimberley region in Western Australia, Queensland's Outback and the Great Barrier Reef, it is critically important to us that we address local needs and concerns. At Voyages, the social and environmental contracts we have created are not an option, they are a vital way of life for us as a company and for our partners. We have therefore made a dual commitment to operate in harmony with the local communities via:
- Sustainable environmental tourism practice
- Respecting and supporting local cultures
Our history:
Voyages Hotels and Resorts was formed in March of 2000. This was a rebranding of the old Ayers Rock Resort Company Limited (operating since 1992) to better reflect the geographic diversification of the company which was happening at the time with new properties at Alice Springs and Kings Canyon. It also mirrors our guests' desires to journey to unusual destinations for an outstanding experience. In July, 2004, Voyages acquired P&O Resorts adding properties in Tasmania's Central Highlands and Queensland's Outback and Great Barrier Reef to their portfolio. In July, 2005, El Questro Resort in the Kimberley region in Western Australia was added to the portfolio.
