Special guest speaker revealed for Travel DAZE 2021!

We’re full of surprises here at Travel Weekly, so much so that we’re excited to announce our special guest speaker for Travel DAZE 2021!

Catriona Rowntree (aka “Australia’s Most Travelled Woman”) will be gracing the virtual Travel DAZE stage next month. She is, of course, the host of Australia’s favourite and longest-running travel and lifestyle program, Getaway.

Catriona Rowntree

It’s a role that has seen Rowntree discover and share some of the world’s most relaxing, inspiring and out-of-the ordinary holiday destinations with Aussies over the last 20-plus years.

Rowntree is also an accomplished author and professional speaker, and will join Tourism Australia’s chief marketing officer, Susan Coghill, for the opening session of Travel DAZE 2021.

Presented by Tourism Australia, Travel DAZE 2021 will take place from Monday 12 July to Friday 16 July 2021, and it will once again be held virtually and free to attend, because we know what the industry has been going through and we’re supportive of inclusivity.

However, we wouldn’t want anyone to miss out, as spaces are limited, so save the dates and register now HERE to secure your place!

Travel DAZE 2021 will bring together some of the best minds from within the travel industry, along with external experts, to foster the reboot of travel and tourism.

The industry’s rebirth must come from innovation for a lasting and healthy rebound. The time has come to adapt, adopt unconventional ideas, ground-breaking technology, marketing prowess and a willingness for change. What will a reboot involve? How will the travel industry’s pause turn into a creative renewal?

Travel DAZE 2021 will explore what tangible steps business owners, travel agents, tour operators, marketers and communications specialists can take toward rebuilding a sustainable and profitable future.

Check out our huge line-up of speakers for Travel DAZE 2021 below…

Kudos to all of this year’s wonderful sponsors for Travel DAZE. We simply couldn’t be putting on such a grand event without you!
