Helloworld Travel Festival hits Toowoomba

Helloworld took over Toowoomba last week, holding their Travel Festival at the town’s newest up and coming venue, Blank Space.

Over 1,500 people turned out for the event last Sunday, with more than 40 Air, Cruise, Tour and Independent travel suppliers joining organisers Helloworld Travel Toowoomba City, Helloworld Travel Toowoomba Ridge, Helloworld Travel Toowoomba Town Central, Experience Travel and Cruise and Toowoomba Travel and Cruise to put on an amazing festival for the locals.

Crowd favourites were on hand to entertain across the day, with Helloworld Travels mascot Helloroo, and the Wendy Wu panda keeping the kids busy, alongside face painting, balloon animals and a colouring competition.

ROO SIGN

For the adults, coffee, beverages and food were on hand to enjoy on the sunny spring day.

Extensive products and knowledge were on show, giving travellers access to the information they need for their next holiday and adventures.

Travel deals offered on the day are still available until 22 September, for anyone who books a holiday with any of the six Toowoomba Helloworld Travel stores.

Bookings before this date will go into the draw to win a European holiday for two thanks to Singapore Airlines and Insight Vacations.
