Helloworld Travel will sponsor both the Beyond Borders Travel Summit and the National Travel Industry Awards (NTIA) events in Melbourne in October.
The Australian Travel Industry Association (ATIA) thanked Helloworld Travel for backing the Beyond Borders Travel Summit on Friday 9 October at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, and as gold sponsor of the entertainment the following evening, Saturday 10 October, at the Palladium at Crown Melbourne.
The Summit is set to challenge how the sector thinks about its customers, its economics and its future, bringing the trade together for a whole day of debate on the issues shaping the industry, from distribution and payments through to policy and the value of professional travel advice.
The next evening, the NTIA Awards recognise the individuals and businesses setting the standard across Australian travel.
“As major sponsor of Beyond Borders, Helloworld Travel is delighted to support an event that inspires fresh thinking, encourages meaningful discussion and showcases the vital contribution our industry makes to people, communities and economies,” Helloworld Travel chief operating officer and executive director Cinzia Burnes said.
“We are also proud to be a Gold Sponsor of the Entertainment at the National Travel Industry Awards (NTIAs), one of the most prestigious celebrations of excellence in Australian travel.”
The 2026 NTIA span 36 categories covering travel advisors, agencies, travel management companies, tour operators, wholesalers, airlines and cruise lines.
Helloworld is one of Australia’s largest travel distribution businesses, with more than 2,600 retail members across Australia and New Zealand.
Just last week, News Australia’s News Travel Network joined forces with ATIA for the NTIA for a fifth consecutive year.
