Loyal clients and business partners came together last week to celebrate the 55th anniversary of Mary Rossi Travel.

Spencer Travel, in partnership with Mosman Travel and Mary Rossi Travel, recently hosted a highly successful exclusive Luxury Travel Showcase event at the prestigious Shangri-La Sydney. The event brought together over 300 clients and 60 luxury travel suppliers, offering a unique opportunity for clients to engage with industry leaders and explore a range of premium travel experiences.

Virtuoso commemorated 20 years of operating in Australia and New Zealand with an elegant luncheon on Sydney Harbour on Friday [2 February 2024].

Link Travel Group – the network founded by Flight Centre Travel Group, The Goldman Group and Spencer Group of Companies in May – has welcomed six of Australia’s best-known agencies to its invitation-only membership group.

The iconic Mary Rossi Travel brand will live on under new ownership, with Penny Spencer and Sharyn Kitchener and their spouses Edwin Spencer and Mike Goodall – the owners of the nearby Mosman Travel on Sydney’s lower north shore – set to take over the business.

The life of Mary Rossi O.B.E, the founder of Australia’s first travel agency invited into the Virtuoso global luxury network, will be celebrated on Monday, 24 May 2021.

Major tourist cities around the world could expect less overseas visitors in the ‘new normal’ post-COVID environment as travellers move beyond popular hubs to the serenity of rural countrysides, says Mary Rossi Travel Managing Director, Claudia Rossi Hudson.
