Harvey World Travel’s (HWT) long-term plans of investment in the future and expansion are reflected in the opening two new shops, at Bateau Bay in Stockland Bay Village on the Central Coast and Top Ryde, plus the relocation of the HWT Gordon shop to a prime retail location.

This follows the opening of HWT Chatswood Chase earlier this year in August.

Managing Director of Harvey World Travel, David Rivers, says the openings and relocation are very much in line with the company’s strategy.

“Our long-term objective is to continue expanding in high-quality locations to better serve our targeted clientele.,” says David.

“The opening of HWT Bateau Bay and Top Ryde are the start of more openings over the coming months, in line with our growth strategy.

Owners and managers of HWT Bateau Bay, Narelle Gregory and Kris Heke, say their new agency has been very well received by the locals since the opening on Monday 16th November.

“We even sold a few cruise packages on our opening day and enquiries for Earlybirds to Europe are pouring in,” says Kris.

Meanwhile, first time owner and manager of HWT Top Ryde, Lydia Scuglia says since the opening, the shop has received an overwhelming response from the locals with a number of cruise and coach tour bookings already taken.

“Cruising is definitely a popular choice for our clients,” says Lydia. “Since opening on the 5th November, we have sold many cruise packages including Mediterranean cruising, Pacific Island cruising and Holland America cruising in Canada.”

The relocation of HWT Gordon’s shop from the Pacific Highway to Gordon Shopping Centre on 18 Nov has also already attracted a portfolio of new clientele, interested in a range of holiday packages worldwide.
