Questionably notable and improvable because although I found this (which included its company history here), here, here, here and here but none of these suggest obvious convincingly better improvement.

  • Comment. Harvey World Travel is/was a well known travel franchise in Australia, most major towns and cities had/have at least one agency. Enough of the background, this is what i have found online (most of which are mentions and may be deemed trivial?): [1] - Helloworld says rebranded Jetset group from The Australian of 22 July 2013 - "JTG chief executive Rob Gurney said the success of the new brand would largely depend on the take-up by the group's existing 1700 bricks and mortar agencies branded either Jetset, Harvey World Travel, Travelscene American Express or Travelworld.", [2] - Harvey World Travel says hello to new venture from The Border Mail of 28 December 2013 - "HARVEY World Travel in Albury and Wangaratta will be jetting into a new brand over the holiday period. Helloworld is a super brand created by merging Harvey World Travel, Travelscene, Jetset and Travelworld.", [3] - Jetset Travelworld will launch a new retail network called helloworld in a move that is likely to spell the end of its existing brands. from Travel Weekly (Australia) of 22 July 2013 - "Harvey World Travel, Travelscene, Jetset and Travelworld will be replaced with helloworld, with JTG expecting the first stores to adopt the new brand in the final three months of the year.", [4] - Family firm alters travel brand from The Newcastle Herald of 12 January 2014 - "THE well-known chain of Harvey World travel agencies run by Newcastle’s Pearson family has come under the wing of getaway juggernaut Flight Centre.". ps. "Aussie editor?", just because there are big bunnies bouncing around in the hills where I live... Coolabahapple (talk) 03:54, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 12:02, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose those are some good sources but I'll keep this open in case anyone else wants to comment. I may also be willing to add the sources. SwisterTwister talk 07:32, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Although this was recently relisted so comments may come later, I wonder if Flat Out can give any Australian insight. SwisterTwister talk 07:35, 7 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment SwisterTwister, Harvey World Travel is a well known brand, in no small part due to their extensive radio advertising. I see three good quality sources, one from Sydney Morning Herald and two from the Australian Financial Review. Flat Out (talk) 22:51, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
