The landscape of travel planning has undergone a significant shift, with the well-known Entertainment Group, previously famed for its discount voucher booklets, now unveiling a comprehensive travel portal. This digital platform, “Entertainment Travel,” provides members with access to an extensive array of travel options, from flights and hotels to cruises and car hire, all within a single, user-friendly app.
A World of Travel at Your Fingertips:
This evolution marks a substantial expansion for the group, offering far more than just local dining and entertainment discounts. For an annual membership fee of $70, users gain entry to a wealth of travel opportunities, catering to diverse preferences and budgets. Whether seeking a solo adventure, a family holiday, or a luxurious escape, the portal presents a tailored experience.
Curated Experiences and Exclusive Savings:
The portal boasts an impressive portfolio, featuring partnerships with leading travel providers. Cruise enthusiasts can explore over 36,000 sailings from renowned lines such as Princess, Holland America, Cunard, and Royal Caribbean, with notable deals including voyages to Alaska, the Mediterranean, and Asia. Likewise, the tour section offers over 20,000 guided holidays from operators like Trafalgar, Globus, and Insight Vacations, covering destinations from Sicily to the Christmas markets of Europe.
Furthermore, the platform provides access to over 750,000 hotels worldwide, featuring brands such as Hyatt, Club Med, and Travelodge. Flight options span all major airlines, including Emirates, Singapore Airlines, and Qantas, ensuring seamless global connectivity. Car hire deals are available from trusted providers like Hertz and Europcar, and budget-friendly travel insurance is offered through World 2 Cover and Insure&Go.
Personalised Service and Expert Guidance:
Recognising the importance of personalised service, Entertainment Travel provides a dedicated team of experienced travel agents. These professionals offer expert advice, tailored recommendations, and comprehensive support, assisting travellers in crafting their ideal holiday. Additionally, the platform features over 200 expertly curated holiday packages, combining flights, accommodation, and cruises for a hassle-free experience.
A Legacy of Giving Back:
For three decades, the Entertainment Group has been synonymous with value and community support. This legacy continues with the travel portal, as 20 per cent of every membership sale contributes to various fundraising partners, including the Cancer Council, McGrath Foundation, and Australian Red Cross. This commitment to philanthropy underscores the group’s dedication to making a positive impact.
From Booklets to Digital Innovation:
The group’s transition from physical voucher booklets to a digital app in 2018 paved the way for this travel portal. The return of these travel options, once only available in the hard copy booklets, into a digital format, allows Australians to access these savings directly on their phones. Beyond travel, members continue to enjoy discounted access to dining and entertainment experiences, including restaurants like Catalina and OTTO Ristorante, and venues like Event Cinemas and Village Roadshow Theme Parks.
Partnerships and Future Growth:
The Entertainment Group’s collaboration with ECruising exemplifies its commitment to delivering exceptional value. Rochelle Clark, General Manager Product at ECruising, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, highlighting the opportunity to provide affordable and memorable travel experiences. This collaboration signals the group’s ongoing efforts to expand its offerings and enhance its services, ensuring that members have access to the best travel opportunities available.
