World's First Travel Beverage!



Previously you had to fly 24hrs in business or first class to Australia on Qantas to drink Balance Travel. Upon arrival in Australia you might also see Balance Travel at an Intercontinental or Four Seasons Hotel. Now Balance Travel will be available in the US via a new partnership with the Wyndham Hotel Group. Balance Travel is a unique refreshing beverage that contains US alpine spring water and Australian flower essences to help with the physical and emotional fatigue issues of traveling such as jet lag, dehydration and poor rest.

Balance Travel, created in 2007 in Sydney, Australia was the first of its kind to market and created the category of travel beverages. It is part of the Balance range of five varieties which also includes Mind, Relax, Refresh, and Digest.


Balance uses organic flowers that grow wild in extremely remote parts of Australia. The combination of flowers gives the different varieties their specific natural functions. The flowers are added to locally sourced spring water in Northern California and the Catskills, New York. The Balance range is refreshingly non-flavored with zero calories, sweeteners or preservatives. Just flowers and spring water. It is part of a growing movement in the beverage industry known as 'real' beverages.


Wyndham Hotel Group will be offering Balance Travel to their Gold Status members upon check in at select Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, Wyndham Garden and the Wyndham Grand Collection properties as a way of showing appreciation for their loyalty.


"Having an all natural, and non-flavored beverage that helps with travel fatigue is important to a growing number of premium travel destinations" said Hilary Scott, Sales Director at Balance. "There is an increasing demand from today's travelers for alternatives to sugary beverages. They want beverages that are healthy, real and relevant to them and addressing their situation at the time. Groups such as the Wyndham Hotel Group are leading the way."


Balance is expanding quickly in the travel industry. Balance Travel is now available at properties within the portfolios of Intercontinental Hotels Group, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, Wyndham Hotel Group, and Morgan Hotels Group. In addition Balance Travel can be found in many other boutique and premium properties in Australia,
