18-Mar-2010 | The Australian Tourism Export Council (ATEC) is holding its 33rd annual Symposium conference in Hobart this year. This is great news for Tasmanian tourism operators and those providing visitor experiences, hospitality and other tourism related services.
To find out how you can have your product advertised on the ATEC Symposium event website for delegates to book pre and post touring with you read on...
The Tasmanian Convention Bureau worked with Tourism Tasmania to successfully secure the right to host the ATEC Symposium in Hobart and has since continued to work closely with industry partners to ensure that all sectors of the industry benefit from the conference.
The conference program consists of plenary business seminars (including international market speakers), business breakout sessions, ITO/ supplier workshop sessions, social networking events and ITO familiarisation programs.
As host region of Symposium 2010, Tasmania’s tourism industry has the opportunity to showcase its product first hand to influential tourism professionals attending the event. Delegates registered for the Symposium plan ahead, and seek out activities and accommodation for their stay pre and post conference. You can provide delegates a greater incentive to experience your product by way of offering a special industry rate. Follow the link to find out how you can have your product advertised on the ATEC Symposium event website for delegates to book directly. Once your information is submitted to ATEC, they will actively promote you in correspondence to delegates. http://www.atec.net.au/473784_3.html
Delegates will also get to experience some of Tasmania's best during the Destination Showcase, to be held at the soon to open Museum of Old and New Art (MONA), while the Symposium Gala Dinner promises to be the biggest party of the year.
For operators who are not yet members of ATEC and are considering attending the symposium, Tourism Tasmania is offering a special package of benefits that includes a discount off the symposium registration fee and a rebate on the ATEC membership fee.
The ATEC Symposium will be held in Hobart from 20 to 23 April.
For more information, including details of the package of benefits see the Tourism Tasmania corporate website and the ATEC Symposium website.
ATEC is the peak industry body representing Australia’s $26 billion tourism export sector and the ATEC Symposium is Australia’s largest inbound tourism conference, with around 450 inbound professionals attending the four-day event.
The conference provides a fantastic opportunity to showcase Tasmania as a visitor destination, enabling Tasmanian export ready tourism businesses to meet influential Inbound Tour Operators (ITOs) who promote and sell Australian travel packages to overseas buyers.
The conference generates at least $1 million in revenue for the host destination and includes 1600 paid visitor nights plus pre and post conference holidays that will see delegates explore all of our state and discover first-hand what we have to offer.
