Paid Internship: Travel Marketing

Adventure travel isn’t just a fun industry to work in - it is also exploding in growth and one of the most exciting places to be.

Leatherback Travel is an Australian group of fast-growing adventure travel brands. It is made up of Patch Adventures - running since 2019 - Magnificent Rail, Camino Women and Fencox Travel.

Our goal is to create the best journeys that travellers will ever go on and deliver the most memorable adventures in our customers’ lives. As a team, we have decades of combined travel industry experience, and our customers love the trips we design. Our guests go to all sorts of unusual and unique places with great support and communication from Leatherback Travel's Customer Service Team.

The future for Leatherback Travel is huge. We are not just launching new brands; we are doing it with a purpose. We don't want to just take our customers to the best places… We want to build and create new experiences to share with the world. Our goal is to build walking trails, hiking lodges (why not?) and create completely new travel routes in places that are unexplored and unappreciated.
