The 2026 Latin America & Antarctica Roadshow has wrapped its fourth annual series, after welcoming more than 250 travel advisors across Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney.
Held from 21-23 April, the three-city event featured a curated group of 13 suppliers specialising in Latin America and Antarctic travel, with organisers reporting a 90 per cent repeat participation rate, highlighting the roadshow’s continued value as a targeted trade platform.
The Ambassador of Peru to Australia, Vitaliano Gaspar Gallardo Valencia, attended as guest of honour, representing the nation and reinforcing Peru’s commitment to the Australian market.
Designed as a boutique-style format, the roadshow focused on facilitating deeper engagement between suppliers and agents through a combination of concise presentations and extended networking opportunities.
Major prizes included a three-night program for two aboard Aqua Nera by Aqua Expeditions, as well as a three-night stay for two at explora Valle Sagrado, awarded in each city.
Nomade Unique Experiences managing director Benjamin Garcia Cantolla said the event’s success reflects a shift towards more focused, high-value trade engagement.
“A 90 per cent return rate from suppliers is a strong signal that this format is delivering real commercial outcomes,” he said. “Latin America and Antarctica are complex destinations to sell well, so creating an environment where agents can engage directly and meaningfully with product is critical.”
