‘Gary and Matt are doing several projects together. “One of them is Luxury Escapes, a series of tourist trips,” a spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia on Tuesday.

“The first two tickets sold out within 24 hours, India and Vietnam, and the Sri Lanka tour is about to go on sale, with several more now being planned.”
