Magellan members flock to Noosa Heads
By admin


More than 100 member delegates and 90 supplier delegates this week converged on Queensland’s Noosa Heads for the Magellan Travel Group Annual Conference 2013.

The event kicked off with a cocktail event on Richard Branson’s Makepeace Island, followed up with two days of conferencing at Outrigger Little Hasting Street Resort & Spa.

“The niche nature of the Group means we can really focus on issues of common interest and have a lot of participation and interaction,’ chief executive Andrew Macfarlane said.

“We are looking forward to sharing our plans for the future with members and hearing their views, and we will have our usual transparent presentation of financial results – income, costs and most importantly, profit for our members”.

Keynote speakers included Ita Buttrose and Australian Federation of Travel Agents chief executive Jayson Westbury.
