The Council of Australian Tour Operators has opened ticket sales for its annual, end-of-year CATO Christmas Lunch 2025 industry celebration, which will be held at the Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park on 4 December.
The CATO Christmas Lunch 2025 theme is ‘Merry & Bright’ and will bring together Australian tour operators, wholesalers, travel advisors, tourism boards and travel industry media to celebrate the holiday season.
Guests are encouraged to dress on theme – think bold prints, vibrant colours and festive spirit for a fun, feel-good afternoon, running from 11:30am to 3:30pm.
Enjoy great food, premium drinks, lively entertainment, prizes, an after-party and a room full of your best and brightest industry friends.
Last year’s CATO Christmas Lunch drew record-breaking attendance with 423 guests and included an interview with Flight Centre Travel Group Founder and industry icon Graham “Skroo” Turner.
CATO Managing Director Brett Jardine said the CATO Christmas Lunch is one of the highlights of the organisation’s annual event calendar.
“The Christmas Lunch has become one of our most popular events – it’s festive, relaxed and a great way to catch up with colleagues and partners before the year winds down,” he said.
“The ‘Merry & Bright’ theme really says it all – we’re planning an upbeat, colourful celebration to end 2025 on a high.”
Earlybird tickets are now available for $185, inclusive of GST, or $1,850 for a table of 10.
