That sounds like a good idea- F*** Let’s give it a go.
A family motto that has stood the Bunniks in fantastic stead.
Celebrating their 30th birthday at the QVB Tea rooms in Sydney last night Dennis Bunnik revealed his unofficial family motto to the great amusement of the gathered travel industry crowd.
Dennis, his brother Sasha, and mum Marion had the crowd in stitches with their insights and commentary presided over by the magnanimous and masterful MC Mark Carter.
When asked “30 years ago when you opened the doors did you ever dream you would become as big as you are” Marion Bunnik replied, “Not 30 years ago but then I developed the concept of Bunnik Tours and made it Australia-wide and that’s when I knew it would go big. In the beginning we were just a mum and son agency — dad would do all the renovations, but we would do all the travels. Then we became really popular – people liked us – are you liking us????”
The banter continued with the competition of who has done more trips Sacha or Dennis and then the crowd roared when Dennis admitted that a big part of the Bunniks success was “the NO dickhead policy”
Some of their staff had been there for not far off the whole journey and Dennis thanked them warmly. He also launched their biggest-ever incentive. The Bunnik’s big birthday giveaway. Four trips for 2 on offer from April – November. They include some of Bunnik best selling tours Peru Explorer, Highlights of Egypt, Sri Lankan Discovery, and Treasures of Portugal.
With the new branding “Bunnik Tours – It’s who you go with” I think we can safely say that this incredible trailblazing travelling family will be around for another 30 years.
The evening concluded with an abundance of champagne, cake, and JOY!
