Annual TTV is over $NZ15 million.

Andrew Burnes, Helloworld Travel CEO and MD said “The Williment team with their breadth of product and experience across a wide range of sporting codes and in event management adds a new dimension to our New Zealand business and will allow us to open up the amazing offerings Williments has to the market via our Helloworld network members.”

General Manager Williment Travel, Adair Cameron said, “The experience and knowledge our sports travel specialists have gained over almost 50 years gives them an intimate understanding of the elements that make a sporting tour a successful and memorable experience. To now join up with the strength of the Helloworld Travel group will enable the business to broaden our product range and distribution options.”
