The heavy impact of COVID-19 continues to be felt by the travel industry, with yet another Australian wholesaler shutting up shop.
Ibertours Travel was established 30 years ago by director John Ford in Melbourne, specialising in in-depth creative and cultural trips to Spain, Portugal and Morocco – also known as ‘The Iberia Triangle’.
According to the wholesaler’s website, Ibertours was the sole representative in Australia and New Zealand for Paradores of Spain and Pousadas of Portugal. Both suppliers incorporate a range of historic buildings around the two countries that have been restored into unique hotels.
Ibertours was also an official Australian and NZ representative for Rusticae, which offers accommodation in the form of rustic and rural farmhouses and estates.

The local arm of a global tour wholesaler that collapsed under the weight of COVID-19 was already struggling prior to the pandemic, according to a report by liquidators.
Nexus Holidays, which also traded as Vista Holidays, was
placed into administration last month, with Jonathon Keenan and Peter Krejci of BRI Ferrier brought in to conduct a review of the company’s financial position to determine the next steps and potential outcomes for customers and creditors.
The local arm of Nexus Holidays was registered on 13 April 2007 in NSW and operated as a wholesaler of travel packages for destinations in China, Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, India, Europe and North America.
