Our History
Entrada Travel Group, previously named InterCity Group, began in 1991 when a group of privately owned coach operators combined to acquire the then government-owned InterCity long distance bus network.
Since 1991, several tourism brands have come under the group umbrella, including GreatSights, Gray Line New Zealand, FullersGreatSights, awesomeNZ, Divers Den and TUSA Group.
