About Us

Executive Summary

Campus Travel is the market leader in offering tailored travel management solutions to the academic sector in Australia since 1989.

Campus Travel originated in Hong Kong in 1976, under the name Kistend Travel.

After 12 successful years in the academic sector, Kistend Travel broadened its global presence by opening its first Australian office in Melbourne, in 1989.

In 2002, the Flight Centre Group of Companies opened its first academic travel office in Queensland, Australia. This was closely followed in 2003 with the acquisition of Kistend Travel, to later become known as KistendCampus Travel. Since then, our expansion has seen us develop into the leading travel service provider to the academic sector in Australia. This has been achieved through our commitment to providing a total end-to-end travel solution, supported by specialist staff with access to the most efficient booking and reporting technology available.

At Campus Travel we are recognised as the leading experts in the academic travel process. We have learned over time that Universities have their own unique criteria, and our company has adapted to satisfy these criteria. Rather than compromise our high standards of service, Campus Travel works long and hard to meet our clients' allocated budget and travel policy requirements.

Campus Travel is supported by the financial backing of the Flight Centre Group and recognise the critical importance of maintaining personalised service to our clients. This is the hallmark of our success.

Our services and products are as varied as the academic market. From complex itineraries to currency solutions, Campus Travel can assist you. We believe our expertise and experience solely within the academic market combined with the knowledge and resources of Flight Centre offer a distinctly unique solution covering all aspects of the University travel market.
