On Course Tours & Travel enters new era with fresh faces and new international itineraries

On Course Tours & Travel (OT&T) announced new owners who will uphold the traditions of the brand as well as provide a range of new international itineraries through partnerships with key travel providers at an event in Sydney last week.

For the last 35 years, OT&T has been owned and operated by John and Kerry Dunne, who now move to ‘semi-retirement’ to host guests on a range of tours next year and remain involved behind the scenes.

Speaking at the event, John Dunne introduced the new owners of the business, Indigo and Evan Penn, and thanked their 200 most consistent guests in attendance for their support of the business before Kerry thanked the staff for their ongoing commitment to the brand.

In 2024 On Course Tours & Travel will continue to provide its trademark coach tours, offering both day and extended tours in Australia as well as charter services to mature aged and retired travellers. The new focus is to continue to grow relationships with key travel providers in the international space.

New managing director, Indigo Penn, who recently worked in partnerships and reservations at TFE Hotels and majored in tourism and business at the University of Technology Sydney said the new goals are to, “offer more tours and grow the business in new areas of the industry.”

“We will focus on more inhouse designed tours and more partnerships with travel providers such as Bench Africa, Hurtigruten and Uniworld to offer even more experiences to our clients.

“We look forward to the opportunities we will provide to our community of like-minded people with the desire to travel and enjoy life.”
