Banora International Group

Formed in 1996, Banora International Group continues to be a leading inbound travel company providing a comprehensive service for anyone wishing to study, travel or work in Australia.  BIG is recognised internationally for developing innovative tailor-made itineraries and academic programs that incorporate Australia’s magnificent world heritage regions, culture as well as educational and exciting activities.

With its head office located in Cairns, and supporting offices located along the eastern coast of Australia, Banora International Group features several divisions catering to specific markets and products as the team continues to deliver on the company’s 25 year mission:

“To provide unique tourism and educational products that focus on customer satisfaction and individual growth”.

Our reputation is unsurpassed in the youth and International education market with well-recognised study and academic programs created in conjunction with highly reputable education institutions.

Programs can be academically focused around study and lectures within structured classes or students may experience a combination of many unique HANDS ON interactive activities OUTSIDE OF THE CLASSROOM.

Due to COVID-19 closing our borders forcing the cancellation of thousands of students on our study tour, homestay, farmstay and internship programs we created Great Barrier Reef Academy to provide individuals with an opportunity to experience a similar experience, virtually from their home country.  Great Barrier Reef Academy provides a virtual on-line education platform incorporating education webinars, live interactive edu-tourism options, and intercultural experiences.  Our special addition is our Study Buddy Bot, an Intelligence Presence Robot who chats and live streams our classes abroad.

We create life changing experiences; we build life-long friendships; we achieve lifetime memories through combining culture, nature, wildlife, volunteering, history, language and learning into our programs. Our programs have always and continue to be ‘travelling with a purpose’.
