APT will once again bring its travel portfolio to life for prospective clients as it stages a nationwide series of consumer Expos throughout February and March.
Each event will feature destination and product overviews presented by APT’s knowledgeable team of travel experts. APT will be showcasing a wide range of products and destinations at the events ranging from Europe River Cruising, Kimberley and Outback Wilderness Adventures and Small Ship Cruising to Vietnam, Cambodia and Burma, India, and New Zealand.
The events are free of charge to attend and locations and dates, which have been released today, are as follows:
- 10 February 2015, Rydges Southbank, Brisbane
- 16 February 2015, The Langham, Melbourne
- 18 February 2015, Hilton Sydney
- 24 February 2015, Crown Perth Convention Centre, Perth
- 26 February 2015, Hotel Grand Chancellor, Hobart
- 5 March 2015, Hyatt Hotel, Canberra
According to APT commercial manager Susan Haberle, the events offer a great opportunity for agents to help ensure their clients gain a deeper understanding of APT’s product while also driving bookings:
“We have worked in close partnership with our trade partners to put these consumer Expos together.”

She said the aim of the expo is to help agents educate their clients on the range of APT destinations and product.
APT’s Expos are designed to secure trade bookings in a number of ways: they provide discounts for attendees who book with their travel agent; they channel client bookings made on the day directly to back the Travel Agent; clients are given the option of taking their Expo discount voucher in store to book with their preferred travel agency; and APT also refers clients who may not have a travel agent to a preferred agency in their area.
Agents are urged to register clients onto the events as soon as possible as space is limited.
