Melbourne-based day tour operator Urban Adventures is seeking local partners in dozens of destinations across Asia, Europe, the Americas and Oceania.
The tour company already offers 265 tours in 90 destinations around the world, and is now actively seeking local partners in a wide range of destinations, including Adelaide, Alice Springs, Brisbane, Broome, Byron Bay, Canberra, Darwin, the Gold Coast, Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington.
To become an Urban Adventures Partner, applicants must have the inside scoop on their city’s hidden gems, be passionate about showing travellers the very best their city has to offer, committed to the principles of responsible travel, and have the entrepreneurial spirit required to operate a tour business.
In some cities, the applicant will also need a licence to guide tourists.
"A background in tour guiding is not an essential requirement to become an Urban Adventures Partner," said general manager Tony Carne.
"You might be an artist, musician, actor, blogger, retail worker, foodie, bartender, server, customer service rep, concierge or something else entirely, but if you’ve got the know-how about your city, and the passion and drive to build a profitable business, we’ll offer you the sales, marketing and distribution support of a global brand," Carne added.
During the last quarter, sales revenues at Urban Adventures soared by almost 60% year-on-year, and with the recent launch of Fun Independent Travel (FIT) Passes and the expansion of its ‘Home Cooked’ range of tours, Urban Adventures expects double digit growth to continue.
