The Ayers Rock Resort Company Limited was formed in 1992 and after a period of growth, acquired resorts at Alice Springs and Kings Canyon. In September 1997, General Property Trust purchased the company. The Ayers Rock Resort Company Limited then changed its name to Voyages in March 2000. A year later, Voyages purchased Odyssey Tours and Safaris, Coconut Beach Rainforest Lodge and Ferntree Rainforest Lodge. In July 2004, Voyages acquired P&O Australian Resorts, adding properties in Tasmania, Queensland and on the Great Barrier Reef. They then opened Wrotham Park Lodge in September 2004 and acquired El Questro Homestead in July 2005. In early 2006, Voyages sold its Odyssey Tours and Safaris to New South Wales-based Australian Wilderness Tours. Coconut Beach Rainforest Lodge, Ferntree Rainforest Lodge, Jungle Lodge and dive operation Odyssey H20 were also sold a year later.[5]
