A new long-term multi-year agreement between Voyages and AAT Kings is seeing The Travel Corporation significantly boost its investments at Ayers Rock Resort.
TTC CEO Brett Tollman yesterday confirmed the company was currently constructing eight new houses to support the growth of the business, accommodating up to 16 additional staff.
The new houses are due for completion next month, with Tollman saying soaring demand in the Red Centre has given the company confidence to “support the longer-term growth of our business, growth of the resort and also the development of new products and services”.
Other ongoing works include the re-design and upgrade of the existing AAT Kings depot near Uluru, having outgrown the existing facility because the company’s fleet is busier.
Tollman said the AAT Kings operation had doubled in size over recent years, adding “we always have and will continue to invest strongly in the most up to date and young fleet of coaches”.
He said growth was coming primarily through strong occupancy levels at Ayers Rock Resort, thanks in part to the promotion of the Field of Light supported by more flights.
The inbound Japanese market was particularly strong, he said, including AAT Kings’ unique Field of Light sunrise tour.
