Promote your destination in the rapidly growing Australian
travel market without leaving your office
Make sure your destination/business is capturing its share of the
seventh largest overseas market to the U.S. – Take part in
the 2005 See America Seminars in Australia.
A consistently high-performing market, Australia is having a particularly
banner year, with 32 percent growth in the first eight months of
2004. The U.S. ranks as the leading long-haul destination for Australian
travelers; the average traveler from “down-under” stays
23 days in the U.S., and is a high-spending visitor.
The See America Seminars are a major event on the Australian travel
industry calendar, bringing together over 1000 travel agents in
Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane in February and March 2005. The
Seminars are organized by the Visit USA Organization, Australia,
the official Visit USA Committee, and take place in Sydney on February
28, Brisbane on March 1, and Melbourne March 2.
There are two ways for you to participate in these Seminars: fly
to Australia to exhibit; or participate in a U.S. Commercial Service
Literature Distribution Booth.
If you’re unable to make the trip, the U.S. Commercial Service
in Australia’s Literature Distribution Booth at the seminars
can provide you an effective and cost-effective opportunity to be
promoted at this highly successful event. All you need to do is
forward brochures (via U.S. domestic mail) and payment, and the
U.S. Commercial Service will take care of the rest by promoting
your destination or business in all three cities for only $650.
The Commercial Service will present your material to Australian
travel professionals and pass leads directly to you for follow-up.

for more information and on-line registration.

Literature Distribution Booth at the 2005 See America Seminars,
