Darwin to host key travel event

The leading inbound/international tourism trade conference is expected to attract up to 85 international travel trade buyers and approximately 300 Australian travel sellers to Darwin.

The influential delegates will undertake tours of the Top End to broaden their knowledge of the NT’s tourism product ahead of the event.

The ATEC Meeting Place will also feature industry leadership meetings, important Business to Business workshops with ITO Buyers, a full day conference, Gala Dinner and networking events.

The selection of Darwin as the event's host city in 2018 is a major coup for the Northern Territory with the conference traditionally held in Sydney.

“Our members indicated a strong demand to hold Meeting Place in the NT and ATEC is excited to be taking the event to Darwin in November,” said ATEC Managing Director, Peter Shelley.

“It’s an event that supports local tourism businesses to get valuable face time with the most influential distributors in Australia’s export tourism marketplace and it really focuses the industry on the amazing local products on offer."

The 2018 ATEC Meeting Place will be held in Darwin from 19-21 November 2018.
