What It Is
Excite Holidays was an online-only global travel wholesaler headquartered in Sydney, Australia. Founded in 2002, it offered travel agents live availability and competitive rates across hotels, activities, and transfer services worldwide — with access to more than 300,000 hotel properties. It was an exclusively B2B platform, meaning consumers booked through agents rather than directly.
Who It Serves and How to Connect
Excite Holidays served licensed travel agents in Australia, New Zealand, and other markets including Thailand, Singapore, Greece, the UK, and the US. Hotels and accommodation suppliers connected through wholesale agreements that made their inventory available to the agents using the platform. The model provided instant confirmation and 24/7 agent support.
Current Status and Specialty
Excite Holidays suspended operations and was placed into voluntary administration, with KPMG appointed as administrator. This means the channel is not currently active for new distribution. Prior to its collapse, it was recognised as a significant wholesaler for the Asia-Pacific travel trade, offering competitive nett rates and broad global hotel inventory. Properties previously distributed through this channel should verify the current situation before expecting bookings.
