In 2024, SmartFlyer and Goldman Group are celebrating nine years of partnership and the formation of SmartFlyer Australia.

Ultra-luxe rail travel and five-star cruising are tipped to be the “major products” of choice for high-net-worth-individuals over the next five years, says Erina Pindar, Chief Operating Officer and Managing Partner at SmartFlyer. Pindar, who also serves on Travel + Leisure’s Travel Advisory Board and who was recently named, again, on T+L’s A-List of Travel Advisors, suggests ‘slow travel’ in the sense of rail journeys and serene ocean voyages, will continue to grow in popularity over the coming years.

SmartFlyer has celebrated its top-producing travel agencies through its recognition program, SmartFlyer ONE, which this year included Ash Chin of Sojourns Of in Sydney, Australia.

Smartflyer Australia was represented at Smartflyer’s CORE event in Nashville USA in January, held at the newly opened Four Seasons Hotel Nashville.

Smartflyer Australia, Goldman Group’s venture with Smartflyer USA and partners Brent Wallace and Stuart Reay, has reported experiencing significant growth in numbers and business rebound in the past four months.
