Traveljunkies for Travelers
And Businesses.

Exciting adventures without the crowds
Who are we and what is Traveljunkies?

I’m Cliff, Maureen is my wife and Alison (Ali) is our daughter and for two decades we have been sending travellers to small adventure travel businesses around the world. Many are family owned where you’ll make like-minded new friends and get a personalised, authentic experience rarely found elsewhere.

Traveljunkies started life in 2002 in the small town of Mission Beach in Queensland Australia where we ran jet ski tours around Dunk Island in the Great Barrier Reef Heritage Area.

On 20 March 2006 Larry paid a visit.
Larry was a Category 5 Tropical Cyclone which hit North Queensland overnight damaging houses and businesses including the resort on Dunk Island that supplied our customers.
The resort re-opened after six months but it had it’s own jet skis and we were forced to close our business.

This showed just how vulnerable small businesses are, and we have heard other sad stories from our customers.

With no business, we started promoting small adventure companies in Australia in our Traveljunkies newsletter.
This quickly spread throughout Australia and beyond and we are now a marketing company connecting travelers with small businesses around the world.

When the Covid pandemic imposed worldwide travel restrictions, the small travel and hospitality businesses were hit harder than most and nearly 50% of our customers either scaled down or left the travel industry completely showing just how vulnerable small business can be. A lesson we and others learned is don’t trust the weather.

Many big travel businesses increased their aggregation and newer businesses such as AirBnB started to thrive.
As small businesses turned to the aggregators, they gave away their hard earned customers and now have fewer visitors to their websites.

But all is not lost. As travel gets back to a new kind of normal and travelers look for new adventures, small businesses are better placed to meet this new need than the big companies who are less flexible and a lot slower to change.

And we can help.
To help small businesses re-establish themselves and grow we will continue to provide free listings for as long as is needed.
