Key players in the Australian and NZ travel industry will converge in paradise on Friday 27 May for the annual Rendezvous workshop. And by paradise we mean New Caledonia – like, obviously!
And the reasons for this catch up on the paradisiacal island nation that is New Caledonia?
(1) First, for Australian and NZ wholesalers and travel trade media to learn all about the new products on offer in New Caledonia.
(2) Second, to facilitate commercial partnerships between New Caledonia and Australian/NZ travel wholesalers.
(3) And third, to increase awareness of New Caledonia as the premier tropical holiday destination for Aussie travellers.
It will also give the 30 wholesalers in attendance a chance to discover for themselves just why New Cal is attracting thousands of travellers from all around the world to their little corner of the South Pacific, and then returning home with a tan and speaking a little French!
This year’s Rendezvous Workshop will be the second time the friendly island nation has said bonjour to the travel industry, and judging from the success of last year’s workshop, this year is set to be even bigger and better than before.
The workshop will give participating Aussie wholesalers the chance to network and connect with 50 local New Caledonian suppliers and grow business opportunities back home.
With local entertainment, a spread of delicious food, and tropical island-influenced cocktail choices, the two-day event will also likely strengthen existing travel industry relationships between suppliers and product and marketing managers.
I mean, how could you not grow closer after sharing a gorgeous sunset together over an azure lagoon and a piña colada whilst waves gently lap at your bare feet?
Doesn’t everyone just look happy?!
Pre and post Rendezvous Workshop famils will also motivate wholesalers to see the potential of New Caledonia as a strong alternative to other competing destinations in the region. This will be achieved by them experiencing first-hand the intoxicating mix of nature, culture and adventure that New Cal offers the Aussie travel market.
The timing of this year’s Rendezvous Workshop could not be better either, with New Caledonia Tourism launching a new website (www.new-caledonia.travel) in June this year full of practical information on the destination. The new website will basically function as a one-stop shop for the Australian travel market keen on organising a holiday to New Caledonia.
