The Complete group, founded by Malcolm MacLeod, has launched today and its founding members are joining the Flight Centre Travel Group’s Luxury Travel Collection (LTC) which is expanding to New Zealand.
The line-up includes ATPI Travel, Bon Voyage Cruises & Travel, Cruise Connections, Holland Clarke & Beatson Travel, Stars Travel International-Auckland, Stars Travel International-New Plymouth, The Private Travel Company and Travel Connections.
“Complete was built on the belief that good people, exceptional product and a strong culture are the foundations of successful travel businesses. LTC shares that philosophy completely,” says MacLeod.
“Our members wanted a luxury community that understood independent businesses, invested in meaningful relationships and was committed to helping members and partners grow together. LTC was the natural fit.”

FCTG says LTC is the only luxury travel community operating across Australasia with dedicated, on-the-ground leadership in New Zealand through head of luxury brands New Zealand Kelly de Graaf who will offer local support for members, deeper engagement with partners and a genuine understanding of the New Zealand luxury travel landscape’ the company adds.
LTC gm Nikki Glading says New Zealand had always been central to LTC’s long-term vision.
“Partnering with Malcolm and the Complete team brings together agencies that are not only exceptional businesses but are helping shape the future of luxury travel in New Zealand,” she says.
“Together, we’re building a community that celebrates collaboration, champions excellence and creates greater opportunities for members, supplier partners and the clients they serve.”
As New Zealand’s luxury travel sector continues to evolve, FCTG says the Complete agency membership ‘signals LTC’s deepening commitment to the future of luxury travel in New Zealand and to the advisors whose expertise, passion and relationships continue to shape one of the region’s most vibrant luxury travel markets’.
