Ensemble to close operations in Australia, New Zealand

Ensemble Travel Group will be discontinuing its operations in Australia and New Zealand, the consortia has announced.

Ensemble expanded into the region in 2015. 

“Over the past five years, Ensemble has pursued several viable business opportunities, including expansion in Australia and New Zealand,”  David Harris, CEO of Ensemble Travel Group, stated. “But, as our goal is always to operate a profitable model for our members, we regretfully have had to make the difficult business decision to discontinue our operations in this market. This was due in large part to not being able to develop and maintain the kind of critical mass needed to sustain this effort.” 

The move will result in closing a regional office in Sydney, which also included three employees. 

“While we are disappointed that this expansion effort didn’t grow in the manner which we had hoped, we want to convey our sincere appreciation to the team who worked passionately to build the business halfway around the world, and of course to the 44 member agencies who had engaged with our Ensemble programs,” Harris stated.

Ensemble will communicate with local members in the coming weeks to assist in the transition, which will be completed by the end of April.
