The Collette 2025 Showcase has concluded its nationwide roadshow series, visiting more cities and travel advisors than ever before, launching its impressive 107th touring season with events in 23 locations in six states and the ACT during its run throughout August and September 2024.
More than 750 advisors attended 23 Collette 2025 Showcase events around Australia – seven more shows than last year – expertly presented by Karryon Events.
Held in both capital cities and regional centres, the roadshow series brought Collette’s expert team, latest tour collection and brand updates directly to agents.
Commencing concurrently in NSW and Victoria on 15 August 2024 and winding up on 11 September in Hobart, the 23-date event series shared Collette’s 2025-26 Worldwide Guide with more than 170 tours across seven continents plus 13 epic new trips.

Eventful happenings at the Collette 2025 Showcase
Collette BDM for Queensland & Northern NSW Samantha Tamba shared that six Helloworld Toowoomba advisors sat in the front row at the Brisbane event with all three door prizes won by the team.
Another advisor accidentally wandered into a communications and technology conference at the same venue before heading to the Brisbane Collette Showcase – drink from the other event already in hand!
Collette Head of Sales David Farrar said the BDM team loved the tremendous turnup of travel advisors in all cities, bringing along with their prior knowledge of the brand.
“A key point of difference that was well-received by agents at the events was the fact that our in-region experts design and guide the tours to ensure the most in-depth experience – minus the DMC middleman,” he said.
“Our promise of ‘By Travellers, For Travellers’ means every tour is curated in detail by a team who loves travel as much as our guests – making our tours more immersive.
“This sees our guests cooking with locals, navigating destinations in local modes of transport, staying in unique accommodations and experiencing hidden gems at every place we visit.”
