Aspire Travel Group brokers recently returned from a packed famil to China, with support from alliance partners Air New Zealand and Air China together – travelling one way to Beijing on CA and returning from Shanghai on NZ.

Aspire Travel Group marked the end of another strong year with its annual Christmas function for brokers and suppliers at Origine in Commercial Bay Auckland on Saturday.

Director Ian Peddie says the company had shown further growth and increased its broker numbers slightly. ‘For us it is really about the quality of our brokers, not quantity,’ he says.

Managing director Man Nghi Luong was on hand to welcome guests and also to help hand out Christmas gifts after the three course lunch.
