1000 Mile Travel Group Founder Ben Ross has launched a new global network venture, Adamaz Travel, to provide innovative solutions for small-to-medium travel agencies with plans to roll out in Australia, New Zealand and the US in July 2025.
Ross said saw an opportunity to address a global gap in the travel industry ecosystem: providing succession planning and growth for travel SMEs through acquisition.
He identified that many small-to-medium travel agencies face unique challenges – not large enough for traditional acquisition but too established to let the business dissolve.
Adamaz Travel will step in as a strategic partner, offering a win-win solution that supports agency owners, employees and clients.
It will provide tailored succession plans, identify acquisition opportunities, leverage strategic luxury and corporate partnerships and develop an air, product and tech buying group solution.
The Adamaz Travel Founder & CEO told Karryon that more developments are underway with another founder in the Australasian market joining Adamaz (meaning “diamond” in Latin) in July 2025. Its mission is: “where entrepreneurs look after entrepreneurs”.
“Adamaz Travel is more than just an acquirer; we are a stepping stone for agency owners who are seeking a new chapter in their life and business,” Ross said.
“We understand the dedication and care that goes into building a successful travel agency and we are committed to preserving their legacy while providing growth opportunities.”
Ross exited 1000MTG at the start of 2025 to set up the new entity. His wife, Nicola Veltman, continues to steer the brand and business, which marked its 10th anniversary in February 2025.
