The Travel Corporation has made two highly significant changes within its Australian business.
Following his 16 year tenure as CEO TTC Australia, John Weeks will move to become non-executive Chairman of The Travel Corporation Pty Ltd.
Weeks will be succeeded by John Veitch, who joins the leading independent travel group after more than a decade with Flight Centre.
As the new CEO of TTC Australia, Mr Veitch will be based in the Sydney office, reporting directly to Brett Tollman, CEO of parent company The Travel Corporation.
“We are delighted to welcome John Veitch into The Travel Corporation family.”

“John has excellent credentials for this role, being the highly-regarded, dynamic and successful leader that he is.”
John Weeks added: “We are all extremely pleased to welcome John Veitch into the business”.
“In my capacity as Chairman, I look forward to assisting John with the transition as he moves to take the helm and drive continued success for TTC Australia,” he said.
“This is an incredibly exciting opportunity and I am thrilled to be joining The Travel Corporation.
“I am looking forward to working closely with the entire team in Australia and our valued network of industry partners on a variety of innovative strategies to ensure we continue to elevate the business and best serve the industry.”
