Experience history, culture & spirituality

How it all began

PlanetBlue Travel began in Sydney in the early 1990s when George Fattal set out to build a travel company focused on people, not transactions. For many years, the business grew through reputation and genuine care, helping travellers connect with the world in meaningful ways.

In 2018, Michael Fattal stepped in to lead the next chapter, introducing new technology, fresh ideas, and a stronger focus on corporate and humanitarian travel. That blend of experience and innovation became the foundation for everything PlanetBlue stands for today.

That’s how our mantra was born.

Complex for us. Simple for you.

Who We Are Today

For more than thirty years, PlanetBlue Travel has been helping people and businesses reach every corner of the world. What began as a small family business built on relationships and trust has evolved into one of Australia’s leading independent travel management companies.

In 2025, PlanetBlue Travel was invited to join Link Travel Group, a premier network of Australia’s top independent agencies. Link recognised that our values of integrity, ambition, connection, and growth align closely with their own. This partnership gives our clients access to the largest suite of supply in the country, selected technologies, and the national buying power of a leading collective, while allowing us to remain proudly independent.

We continue to evolve, expanding our reach in both corporate and humanitarian travel. What has never changed is our commitment to excellence, care, and connection. We still believe travel should be more than a booking. It should be personal, purposeful, and effortless.

 


What We Do

We plan and manage travel for people, businesses, and organisations of every kind. From family holidays and honeymoons to corporate programs and humanitarian missions, we bring decades of experience and trusted industry partnerships to every journey.

Our role is to make travel effortless. We handle everything, including flights, accommodation, insurance, visas, transport, and on-the-ground logistics, so that every traveller can focus on the experience rather than the details.

We take a personal approach to every trip. Whether you are booking a once-in-a-lifetime adventure or managing ongoing business travel, we take the time to understand your priorities and create journeys that work in the real world.

The Secret Ingredient: Our People and Experience

We’re simply a team of sharp, honest people who have the years of experience to know what will and will not work for you. We roll up our sleeves, get things done, and are available whenever you need us to deliver the best results.

We have a deep passion for travel nd bring a wealth of insider knowledge gained from our own journeys and decades of organising group tours and specialised travel. From sensitive destinations to complex, high-risk movements, our experience helps us anticipate challenges before they happen.

There’s a reason we have an extensive list of long term partners. The relationships we build with our travellers are just as important as the journeys we create. Every trip we manage carries the same promise that defines who we are.

Complex for us. Simple for you.
