The spotlight was on niche travel on Wednesday night as the Entire Travel Soirée took over The Fullerton Hotel in Sydney.
The exclusive industry event brought together travel advisors and key suppliers offering unique, specialised travel experiences across a variety of categories – from rail journeys and river cruises to gourmet food tours and adventure-based itineraries. Row upon row of Tourism boards competed for attention and there was plenty of it, with the sold-out event.
Designed to connect agents with handpicked suppliers, the soirée provided an in-depth look at tailor-made travel experiences that cater to growing consumer demand for more immersive, passion-driven trips.
Representatives from European rail operators, small-ship cruise lines, and bespoke tour providers were on hand to showcase their latest offerings and highlight the evolving trends in special interest travel.
Adding an interactive twist, advisors were encouraged to visit as many booths as possible and collect stamps from exhibitors. Those who completed their stamp cards were entered into a major prize draw, with giveaways exceeding $50,000, including luxury hotel stays, exclusive tour experiences, and premium travel credits.
The competition kept energy levels high, ensuring advisors actively engaged with suppliers and deepened their product knowledge. Throughout the evening, guests enjoyed wine and gourmet bites, mirroring the premium experiences on offer.
