Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia Pty Limited, commonly called Voyages, is a subsidiary business of the Indigenous Land Corporation. Voyages manages tourism and resort facilities in the Northern Territory, in Western Australia and in Queensland, Australia.
In the Northern Territory, Voyages operates five venues at Ayers Rock Resort including Sails in the Desert, Desert Gardens Hotel, Emu Walk Apartments, the Outback Pioneer Hotel and Lodge, and the Ayers Rock Campground. In Western Australia, Voyages manages Home Valley Station in the East Kimberley region. In Queensland, Voyages manages the Mossman Gorge Centre in Mossman, Far North Queensland.
Several resorts were built in and around Yulara during the 1980s. Following a chequered history of the tourism developments in the Northern Territory, the Ayers Rock Resort Company Limited was formed in 1992 and after a period of growth, acquired resorts at Alice Springs and Kings Canyon and established profitability. In September 1997, General Property Trust purchased Ayers Rock Resort Company Limited and changed its name to Voyages Hotels & Resorts in March 2000. A year later, Voyages purchased Odyssey Tours and Safaris, Coconut Beach Rainforest Lodge and Ferntree Rainforest Lodge. Luxury resort, Longitude 131°, was opened in June 2002 under the Voyages banner.
In July 2004, Voyages acquired P&O Australian Resorts, adding properties in Tasmania, Queensland and on the Great Barrier Reef. They then opened Wrotham Park Lodge in September 2004 and acquired El Questro Homestead in July 2005. In early 2006, Voyages sold its Odyssey Tours and Safaris to New South Wales-based Australian Wilderness Tours. Coconut Beach Rainforest Lodge, Ferntree Rainforest Lodge, Jungle Lodge and dive operation Odyssey H20 were also sold a year later.
