BRIAN TRAVERS, Managing Director
Brian set up International Sports Tours in the early '80s through a love of sport and a decision to make 'a living out of his hobby'. He
has played, coached and travelled rugby for 50 "odd" years up to
the Golden Oldies stage.

IST's Triathlon involvement for over 10 years forced Brian to achieve
the ultimate in doing and finishing the Forster Ironman event in the mid 90s and he now competes the open water events with the Masters Swimming movement. He finds playing golf at the Royal Cammeray Golf Course also a lot more relaxing.

PHILIP STRACHAN, Director of Operations
Philip's reign at IST commenced in 1990. A born and bred country lad, Philip played rugby for NSW country before the travel bug took over in the late 70's. Driving coaches, tour guiding and backpacking through Europe and the Americas convinced Philip travel was the 'way to go' and if possible into sporting tours - his heart was in the right place. Controlling Bledisloe Cup, Hong Kong 7s and other rugby tours as well as Ironman events is his strength as IST's Director of Operations.

Australia is a great sporting nation and the Directors of International Sports Tours have a mission to provide the highest possible standard of travel service to sporting associations, clubs, supporters and sports people in general.

The agency plans and packages customised sporting tours to major local and international sporting events.

Exploring and developing new sporting tour links with overseas countries plays an integral part in the company's marketing strategies. The Directors welcome inquiries from associations who have similar goals and look forward to working closely with the sporting community in the future.
