Gearing up for Flight Centre Travel Group’s Global Gathering 2025 in LA (11-13 July), Los Angeles Tourism, Visit California and Delta Air Lines teamed up this week for a special Road to Global: LA Destination Seminar.
With over 130 FCTG staff and partners in attendance for the rooftop event in Brisbane, the LA seminar gave agents the latest destination updates to help boost sales – and a chance to qualify for the Global Gathering in Los Angeles next July.
Guests enjoyed LA-inspired cocktails and Californian cuisine, and participated in prize giveaways, including trips to California with flights on Delta, stays in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, and tickets to Warner Bros Studio Hollywood.
“LA Tourism cannot wait to host over 2000+ global Flight Centre Travel Group team members and suppliers in LA for Global Gathering 2025,” Los Angeles Tourism and Convention Board Managing Director Asia Pacific Craig Gibbons said.
“Our Road to Global event this week in Brisbane in partnership with Visit California, Delta Air Lines and Flight Centre showcased a taste of what only LA can offer.
“As the sports and entertainment capital and home to more than 30 culturally rich neighbourhoods, there’s something on offer for everyone in LA.”
Delta Air Lines Country Manager for Australia and New Zealand, Kelly Clive, was equally excited, saying the carrier is “thrilled to partner with LA Tourism, Flight Centre and Visit California to showcase the unique opportunities our inaugural Brisbane-Los Angeles service will bring to travellers”.
“Educating travel agents is key to ensuring they have the tools and insights for their clients about Delta,” she remarked.
“Los Angeles will host Flight Centre’s 2025 Global Gathering with Delta Air Lines as a premier event partner, underscoring the city’s status as a top destination for both business and leisure. We’re proud to be a part of this incredible journey.”
For Flight Centre Travel Group’s annual Global Gathering in 2024, around 2,500 of FCTG’s top performers worldwide along with support staff, suppliers and partners travelled to Lisbon for three days of sun, sangria and fun plus some formal awards and a conference following EOFY events in Australia and the UK.
