Specialists in Asian Markets for Aviation, Tourism & Retail Transformation
about us.
TravConsult is a boutique consultancy firm, its concept created over red wine in 1993 & formally launched in 2002. Our passion is helping our Clients create unforgettable service experiences for their evolving, globe-trekking customers and guests from China, India, Indonesia, Japan and South Korea.
Our expertise lies in aviation, tourism & retail related industries. Our experience with Japan started in 1990 while living & working there. South Korea was only a skip across the ocean. China courses through Lilly’s genes & Trevor’s taste buds.
In 2004 TravConsult developed and launched the first Chinese Customer Service Workshops, pioneering education & development of Australia’s tourism industry to better understand & look after the emerging Chinese tourist market. We have since taken that globally & received international award & recognition.
Travel to India to learn & research began in 2007, as we sought to understand the Indian consumer who was making their mark as outbound travellers. Trevor’s experience & love of Indonesia was sealed back in the 1980’s. Hence, Indonesia was a natural market to explore as Clients demanded more insights to its potential. We have always championed our Asian markets & look forward to the opportunity to work with you to succeed with them.

Former General Manager Airline & Retail Management Brisbane Airport Corporation (current Chief Executive Officer Sunshine Coast Airport)
Working with Trevor and Lilly from TravConsult was a pleasure. Trevor and Lilly took a truly collaborative approach supported by a comprehensive “business gap analysis” to create an engaging, and well received training program. The results were immediately apparent, with team members substantially improving their confidence and cultural understanding, and an increase in positive feedback from our guests. I would recommend TravConsult to any business eager to better understand Asian markets.
Damian Quayle
Chief Operating Officer, The Star Sydney
On behalf of AccorHotels Pacific, I would highly recommend the work of Trevor and Lilly at TravConsult who we have been working closely with for many years. Not only are Trevor and Lilly an absolute delight to work with, their guidance, insights and Asia market experience have been instrumental in the development of our Optimum Service Standards for the Chinese and Indian markets, and the subsequent pioneering implementation of this program in our major inbound hotels across the region. I have the utmost respect for Trevor and Lilly and would have no hesitation in recommending their services.
Simon McGrath
Chief Operating Officer AccorHotels Pacific until February 2022.
The team at TravConsult have been a great supporter of Melbourne Airport over the last 6 years as we have developed & implemented our Chinese Customer Experience Strategies “China Ready” and “China Friendly”, as well as our Indian Passenger Experience Strategy. Trevor & Lilly’s expertise in these key markets have ensured that we continue to be well positioned to take advantage of growth opportunities through improved service ratings from both Chinese & Indian passengers.
