Founded in Australia in 1950, the Harvey World Travel Group expanded into South Africa in the early nineties with BidTravel, part of the JSE listed Bidvest Group, the majority local share-holder in this dynamic travel business. Harvey World Travel was operated as a 50/50 joint venture between Harvey World International (Pty) Ltd registered in Australia and the Bidvest Group Limited until 2015 whereupon Bidvest assumed a 100% equity shareholding in the business.
