Travel Associates partners with Opera Australia in first arts sponsorship

Opera australia

Australia’s premier boutique advisory service, Travel Associates, today announced the first in a suite of “Arts in Australia” partnerships, forging a relationship with Opera Australia at a boutique event in Sydney, that included a dinner at ARIA and a performance of Puccini’s Turandot, at the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Sydney Opera House.

Culture, art, leisure and travel have always been inextricably linked, and the rapid rise of the “experience economy”, also known as -travelling with purpose – drove the decision to financially support the Australian arts community, where many client’s interests lie, both in Australia and overseas.

It will also lend valuable support to the TA’s advisers’ knowledge bank, through personal experience, educational programs, and regular product updates. Most advisers have an average of 15 years experience, and the association will enable TA to connect with new audiences and enrich existing client relationships.
