Rob Young
Founder and CEO
As Founder of Exclusive Travel Group and Touring New Zealand, Rob brings a lifelong passion for meaningful travel.
Rob is the Founder and CEO of Exclusive Travel Group (ETG) with over 20 years of experience planning and organising high-touch bespoke travel. Following the success of ETG, Rob established Touring New Zealand, built on the belief that the best journeys come from local knowledge, thoughtful planning and strong relationships.
After relocating his family from the UK to New Zealand following a memorable holiday, he was drawn not just to the landscapes, but to the warmth, humour and openness of the people, sparking a desire to help visitors experience the country to the fullest.
Some of Rob’s favourite hidden gems include coastal coffee stops at Kekerengu, fresh, green-lipped mussels in Marlborough, road trips through the Lindis Pass and making the most of New Zealand’s wide-open beaches, wilderness and national parks.
