Our Story

Spencer Travel was founded by Penny Spencer in 1998, initially starting as a corporate travel management company with a small, high-end leisure client base.

Over the years, Penny identified opportunities to expand the business by adding niche areas. In 2007, she introduced a family travel brand, Travel with Kidz. In 2011, Shire Travel in Caringbah was opened and in 2012, the leisure portfolio expanded further with the acquisition of Travel Creations in Edgecliff , rebranding it to Spencer Travel Eastside. A year later, in 2013, Spencer Travel acquired Benchmark Travel in Kogarah, rebranding it to Spencer Travel Southside.

Our businesses and travel specialists have established long-lasting relationships with clients and suppliers. Spencer Travel has won numerous awards and has seen substantial growth over the last 17 years. In 2020, all offices were relocated to Spencer Travel’s head office in Mascot, Sydney, and in 2021, all offices were consolidated under the new brand, Spencer Travel Leisure. Our hand-picked team of experienced professionals are extremely well-travelled and knowledgeable in luxury and bespoke travel, with a strong focus on customer service and client satisfaction. Spencer Travel Leisure is part of the exclusive Qantas Agent Platinum Club, as well as other prestigious travel affiliations such as Virtuoso, Four Seasons Preferred Partner, Mandarin Oriental Club, Belmond Bellini Club, and Abercrombie & Kent’s Connoisseurs Club. We are also a member of the Luxury Network Australia.

Spencer Travel Wellness

In 2021, during COVID and one of the toughest times in the industry, Penny launched Spencer Travel Wellness, in response to predicted market trends and her personal passion for health and well-being.

“Wellness travel is one of the fasted growing segments in our industry. Holistic health and wellbeing are increasingly at the centre of consumer decision-making. At Spencer Travel, we are passionate about assisting our clients to discover new and/or continue current healthy lifestyles and wellness routines when they are away from home.”
