Helloworld Travel Rowville’s new owners – industry experts Amy Muratovic and Rebecca Shady – are thrilled to take over the well-established Victorian store and share their combined 38 years’ expertise across all types of travel from cruise to adventure.

The duo succeed previous Helloworld Travel Rowville owners John and Kath Williams, who are retiring after celebrating more than 30 years in the travel industry and leaving a legacy of success for the store and the southeast Melbourne area.

Muratovic and Shady are excited for their next chapter together as business co-owners: “As a team, we are beyond thrilled to take the reins of this successful business that’s been a part of the local community for 32 years.”

“Together, we want to take this business to a new level and we can’t wait to do this with our amazing team and deliver wonderful experiences for our existing and new clients.”

“Thank you for the memories, the camaraderie and the unwavering support. As we pass the torch, we carry with us the warmth of these connections.”

Helloworld Travel Head of Branded & Associate Networks Nick Sutherland echoed the sentiment.

“It’s terrific to welcome Amy and Rebecca as new owner-managers. We know Amy and Rebecca will continue the successful history established by John and Kath. It’s great to keep stores in the Helloworld family as we foster succession planning to provide the smoothest transition possible,” he said.
