In the heart of Sydney, a momentous occasion unfolded as CT Partners commemorated its 20-year legacy of reshaping the travel sector with a grand celebration that attracted industry luminaries. This illustrious event not only celebrated two decades of unparalleled innovation and independence but also set the stage for the future of travel networking.

Since its inception in 2004, CT Partners has been at the forefront of the Australian travel industry, distinguishing itself as a beacon of integrity and transparency. The network’s foundational ethos, to return 100% of supplier payments to its members, has solidified its reputation as Australia’s premier independently-owned travel buying consortium.

The celebration, hosted at the enchanting venue of Beta, commenced with a poignant Acknowledgement of Country by Dwayne Good, a representative of the InTravel Group and a proud Bundjalung man. This opening set a tone of respect and mindfulness, echoing the core values of CT Partners.

The evening was punctuated with highlights, notably the homage paid to the resilience of the CT Partners group. Such resilience, accentuated by a steadfast commitment to transparency, underscores the network’s unwavering dedication to its members. The event was also a platform to honour the ten founding members, with seven in attendance, showcasing the enduring bonds and shared success within the network. This recognition included a special toast to former CT Partners General Manager Ian Edwards and late Members Bev Cohen and Tim Murphy in a touching tribute to their contributions.

The reveal of the Four Seasons Nam Hai Resort in Hoi An, Vietnam, as the destination for the 2024 Conference was met with enthusiastic acclaim, signifying the global reach and influence of CT Partners.

At the heart of the celebration, CT Partners CEO Matt Masson eloquently reflected on the network’s journey and impact: “Our founding members had the courage to establish a distinct type of travel agency network that was unprecedented in the Australian travel industry. Today, we are proud to stand on the shoulders of these giants, continuing to forge a path of close relationships and shared successes with our supplier partners.”

The 20th-anniversary event of CT Partners honoured the past and looked forward to a future where innovation, independence, and integrity continue to drive the travel industry forward. This milestone celebration is a testament to CT Partners’ enduring legacy and role in shaping the travel landscape, embodying a spirit of collaboration and transparency that will undoubtedly influence the next 20 years and beyond.
