About the Brand

The Global Touring team inspires people through life-changing travel experiences. We’re a group touring company, and through our brands Topdeck Travel, Back-Roads Touring and Grasshopper Adventures are ever developing our product range, driving growth in our key markets (Australia, New Zealand & North America), innovating our product delivery and ensuring we deliver a first-class customer experience that is unique to each brand. Don’t worry if you can’t find Global Touring when you search – this is our internal brand, externally we only use our customer facing brands.

Topdeck, Back-Roads and Grasshopper may serve very different customers, however, our ‘one best way’ approach is consistent and effective in supporting the specific strategy and activity for each brand. At Global Touring, each team member works across both of our brands with equal commitment.

We’re looking for someone to join the team that aligns perfectly with our brand and values... if this sounds like you then keep reading!
