the soundtrack to how we embrace each day. Like a well baked brownie, every ingredient
combines to achieve the rich consistency fueling the soul of Global Touring.

Don’t let perfection prevent growth.
Choose Transparency
We take the right way, not the easy way. We’re straight up even through the toughest conversations; tackling challenges head-on and with integrity. Honour commitments. Communicate with clarity. And build relationships based on mutual respect. Forget hidden agendas, we treat everyone fairly – despite a preference for instant coffee.
Don’t pass the buck
If we do it, we do it well. We are empowered to make decisions based on data and experience – holding each other accountable along the way. Spare the excuses. Be fearless in the pursuit of results. And take responsibility – even when no one’s looking. There will be bumps in the road; that’s ok. We own our mistakes and learn from the challenges as well as the successes.
Together we go further
Across oceans and office desks, it’s more than a love for travel that keeps us connected.
