Helloworld Travel Limited announced that the Department of Finance has exercised its option to further extend the Deed between the Department and QBT Pty Ltd. (a wholly owned subsidiary of HLO) in relation to Travel Management Services for the Whole of Australian Government for a one-year period from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022. This extension was made pursuant to the contract extension arrangements put in place when QBT was originally appointed travel management service provider. HLO advises it is seeing a strong recovery across all its corporate businesses, namely QBT, TravelEdge, Show Travel and APX in New Zealand. April corporate travel TTV 1 was up 580% on the previous year and while still down 45% on 2019 levels, the uptick was a positive outcome from the consistently open borders across both sides of the Tasman. Further, HLO's New Zealand based Retail and Wholesale businesses are experiencing a surge in bookings following the announcement of the Cook Islands bubble.
