Visit USA brings a taste of America Down Under

Visit USA brings a taste of America Down Under

Everything that’s new in American travel was on show at the annual Visit USA Expo in Sydney on Wednesday.

After two successful runs in Brisbane and Melbourne earlier in the week, Sydney was faced with over 250 agents gathering to meet suppliers, destinations and local exhibitors.

They met in a free-flow marketplace format with a series of educational presentations also run throughout the day.

The evening boasted an incredible line up of destinations and suppliers enabling agents to make new, exciting contacts for the years ahead.

The lucky winner of the major prize deal went to Tarrent Gibson, winning two Air New Zealand air tickets to the USA along with accommodation at the Handlery Union Square Hotel, a weeks RV rental from Cruise America, accommodation at the Dallas Hotel and two Dallas city passes.
