From EdTripper to VTR
About Us
VTR was born from years of working with schools through our sister platform, EdTripper — a booking and discovery tool for school activities. Since launch, EdTripper has helped over 10,000 students take part in excursions, camps, and incursions, working with more than 1,000 providers across Australia. We’ve partnered with leading venues like Taronga Zoo, Sydney BridgeClimb, Sovereign Hill, and Kryal Castle, giving us a front-row seat to the challenges teachers and admin teams face. That experience gave us the insight (and motivation) to build VTR — a platform designed not just to plan and propose activities, but to cut admin by up to 40% while keeping every step compliant with school and government requirements.
