Our Story

Industry Heritage

Initially founded in 1996 to bring visitors to just Western Australia, the company then expanded to all destinations across Australia and now to select overseas destinations (via our HolidayMax brand).

In just a few years, the Harding family grew Discover West Holidays to become the largest wholesaler for West Australia before then taking over the Best of The West Holidays business. Soon after, Discover Australia Holidays was launched and has since become the most trusted name for Australian all-inclusive touring; and continues to experience solid growth rates. Discover Australia is respected for investing back in promoting sustainable Australian tourism, and the economic and employment benefits it brings to our various communities.

And now at the request of our customers, we have expanded into to select bucket-list destinations globally through the recent launch of HolidayMax™.

This privately held company is a great Australian success story and today is 100% owned by the Harding family, as it has been continually since 1996.
