LATTE is happy to announce the winners of our Travel Industry Exhibition competition. First place, a three-night stay at Six Senses Yao Nai in Thailand, was claimed by Tanya Tyler from Travel Managers. Second place, a luxury hamper, was won by Jenny Drennan from Go Tours Travel. Congratulations to you both! That’s a wrap for The Travel Industry Exhibition 2016! In its third year, the exhibition returned to Luna Park, Sydney on 18 July – 19 July and welcomed the highest quality the industry had to offer, including the LATTE team.Visitors came from all over Australia and overseas and experienced an eclectic blend of destinations, technology and industry suppliers. They sat in on a two-day engaging seminar programme, and were dazzled by an explosion of colour, costumes and cultural dancing. Exhibitors were also impressed by the quality of visitors that came through the doors.Cathy Wagstaff, Group Editor and CEO of Signature Media, commented: “The Travel Industry Expo is a great opportunity to meet with different types of people across the trade travel industry. The seminars are both informative and fun, and it’s always interesting to gain some insight into other people’s perspectives on the future of this ever-evolving industry. I can’t wait to come back next year.”Exhibitors from The High Commission of Uganda mentioned: “This exhibition has been an excellent opportunity to network with professionals in the travel industry. It created an important platform to reach across sections of the travel industry and travel agents as well as opening up new opportunities for promoting Tourism in Uganda. As first time exhibitors we had a great experience and terrific response to our stand, made excellent contacts and were able to sell Uganda as a new tourist destination.”Holly Galbraith from Go Future Media attracted a massive following on day one as she delivered expert advice and tips on producing engaging content for social media.Janyne Moore – Catablog, Sarah Shrapnel – Love Swah, and Ralph Tucker – R.Tucker & Son also drew a large following as they discussed the importance and future of vlogging, blogging and podcasts.All seminar sessions were organised by conference organiser Simon Relph from Visibel Group. TIE has had an abundance of positive feedback and the programme produced was suitable for all visitors.“I found the seminars to be of the highest standard which I had expected and they covered all areas I wanted to learn about. The expo was a great opportunity to meet industry experts on all different areas from destinations, apparel, technology and suppliers,” commented David Reeves, Manager, Ride the World Australia.Monday night’s Travel Daily Christmas in July networking event was a huge hit and brought the industry together to engage in a festive celebration. Highlights of this year’s show were the floating caricaturist, the modern photo wall sponsored by Travel Counsellors, diverse range of niche destinations and emerging suppliers and numerous prizes to be won.
