Tourism Noosa met with 300 travel agents from around the globe in Cairns in October, as part of Tourism Australia’s G’Day Australia travel agent event.
The agents are qualified Aussie Specialists from retail outlets and key wholesalers across 15 international tourism markets.
The event is an opportunity for Australian tourism providers to meet face-to-face with agents so they are better informed and educated to confidently sell a holiday to Australia to millions of visitors around the world.
Competition for destinations is stronger than ever, making these events so important to ensure Noosa is front-of-mind when agents book their clients’ Australian holidays.
8 Aussie Specialists from the UK and Europe who were at the event visited Noosa on a pre-familiarisation – it was their first visit to Noosa and they experienced the Noosa North Shore with Epic Ocean Adventures, with a quick visit to Noosa Heads, Sofitel Noosa Pacific Resort, Sum Yung Guys and overnight at Mantra French Quarter Resort.
Members who joined us at the event were Australia Zoo, Habitat Noosa, Narrows Escape Rainforest Retreat, Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort, Tasman Venture, Visit Oz, Skydive Noosa and Kingfisher Bay Resort.
Thanks to Tourism and Events Queensland and Tourism Australia for an amazing event to help showcase our special piece of paradise to the lucrative international market.
