Travel Massive started over a six pack of beer on the rooftop of the YHA Hostel in Sydney Harbour in 2010. We met to talk about travel, and these events quickly grew in size each month as more people found out about our meetings that were often hidden in backpacker bars.

Since those days we've grown to a global community of thousands of members in over 93 cities worldwide. And now Johannesburg.

We based our meetings on three simple rules – to be open to all the travel industry, to be free to attend, and to encourage people to connect and share globally. These founding principles started the first chapters of Travel Massive in Toronto, London and San Francisco and created the beginnings of our global network in early 2011.

Together we've created a worldwide movement that is making an impact in travel.

Wherever you are right now, look out the window and think about why you travel. We travel for adventure, to learn new things, to meet new people, to challenge ourselves, to have new experiences, to see lives from another perspective, to grow ourselves, to reach out and explore, and for a million other reasons. Travel can transform lives and change our worlds.

As pioneers, leaders and influencers of the travel industry, we have a responsibility for influencing how and where people will travel and for creating the experiences they will have.

Innovations and ideas from our community will create new ways to dream, plan, arrive, explore and to share our journeys.

Travel Massive is bringing new ideas, collaboration, innovation, diversity and new talent to the travel industry. We are unearthing innovation around the world, bridging gaps across verticals, connecting people, building new relationships, and fostering collaboration and shared learning about how we can make travel truly better.

We are creating a new era of exploration for a new generation of travelers.

Travel industry players are invited to join us for the Joburg Chapter Launch at Industry Bakery, 143 Barry Hertzog, Emmerentia at 18:00 on the 28th of May.
