Expanding our presence in Australia and New Zealand with the expert guidance of The Rose Collection
In 2024, we partnered with The Rose Collection to expand The Real Thing’s presence in Australia and New Zealand, marking an exciting new chapter in our journey to connect with a broader global audience.

With over 30 years of experience in the hospitality industry and a deep understanding of the European luxury travel market, Fiona Rose, founder of The Rose Collection, brings the kind of strategic insight and meaningful industry relationships that perfectly complement our ethos.
Her ability to build brand awareness and cultivate high-value connections through thoughtful, personalized representation makes her a natural fit for our bespoke, design-forward journeys through Spain and Portugal.
As the founder of two successful travel businesses and a respected voice in the Australian and New Zealand markets, Fiona shares our passion for authentic experiences, creative storytelling, and exceptional service. She represents a carefully curated portfolio of boutique hotels and DMCs throughout Europe, and we’re proud to be among them.
With The Rose Collection's expertise and collaborative spirit, we look forward to deepening our relationships in the region and inspiring a new generation of travelers to discover the cultural richness, natural beauty, and timeless charm of Spain and Portugal – The Real Thing way.
