On Course Travel is thrilled to announce it has acquired Aldinga Tours, a beloved and well-established coach tour company based in Newcastle. This partnership brings the best of both worlds, ensuring that travellers will continue to enjoy an outstanding array of opportunities to explore Australia and beyond.
After more than 30 years of dedicated service to the Newcastle community, Paul and Barbara Burgess, founders of Aldinga Tours, have decided to retire. However, their passion for creating unforgettable travel experiences lives on through this exciting new chapter. “We’re proud of what we’ve built with Aldinga Tours and are confident that On Course Travel will carry on our tradition of excellence,” said Paul Burgess.
Aldinga Tours will continue to operate out of its Newcastle location, with no changes to the familiar departure meeting places. This ensures a seamless transition for existing customers, who can look forward to the same trusted service they’ve come to know and love.
On Course Travel, a dynamic Sydney-based company, brings a fresh and energetic approach to organising and running tours. “We’re excited to partner with such a reputable company and expand the travel opportunities available to our customers,” said Indigo Penn, Co-owner of On Course Travel.
This partnership opens a world of new travel opportunities, with exciting destinations and experiences designed to educate, entertain, and inspire. Traveling with a group not only allows participants to discover the wonders of the world but also fosters social connections and shared adventures. Studies have shown that travel keeps the mind engaged and active, and group tours are a wonderful way to combat loneliness and build new friendships.
Paul and Barbara will remain involved in the business, ensuring a smooth transition and continuity of the personal touch that Aldinga Tours customers have always appreciated. They will work closely with On Course Travel’s father-daughter team, Evan and Indigo Penn, to bring a new era of travel opportunities to the Newcastle community and beyond.
