Our Story

We didn't set out to build a group. We set out to answer the phone properly.

R G Destinations Private Limited was registered as a full Travel Management Company in New Delhi in 1996, working as both a travel agent and tour operator. Over three decades, that single office grew into R G Destinations Pty Ltd — a parent group whose brands now handle ground operations, group travel and inbound tourism across three continents, recognised by the Government of India and member associations including IATO and ADTOI.

Today

Five brands, one group

Three destination management companies, one local consumer brand, and the Sutra Foundation — operating from offices in India, Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

What Holds The Group Together

Three principles, applied by every brand.

Local Knowledge

Named guides, not booking codes

Every brand in the group is staffed by people who live in the destinations they sell — not a call centre reading from a script.

Transparent Trade

Clear net rates, every time

Travel agents and tour operators get straightforward pricing and commission structures across every brand in the group.

Purpose

A share of every trip, given back

The Sutra Foundation channels the group's community commitment into education, women's safety, hunger relief and animal welfare programmes.
