Travel conference double win for Wellington

Helloworld has announced that its 2015 Owners Managers Conference will be held in Wellington in November, bringing more than AUD$200,000 to the city during the three-day conference.

Positively Wellington Tourism (PWT) chief executive David Perks says securing a conference involving Australian travel agency owners and managers is a double win for Wellington.

“A conference of this size is firstly a great result for our Business Events Wellington team,” Perks said.

“It also means that a group of people who sell over $4.9billion of travel to Australians annually will get a first-hand experience of Wellington. That’s absolutely a positive.”

Perks also says the local industry will undoubtedly benefit from hosting the conference, both during the event and long after the delegates have returned to Australia.

“I have no doubt that they’ll recognise the strength of Wellington’s tourism proposition while they’re here, and will take that insight back to their Australian clients,” he said.

The conference and business events industry generates over $100 million each year for the Wellington region.
