Chimu Adventures, Chile and LATAM have a national campaign to inspire Aussie travel to South America by promoting its ‘Big Five’ experiences. Advisors can also win a trip to South America by attending one of two online trade events in October 2023.
The nationwide ‘Discover South America’s Big Five’ campaign runs until November 2023 and seeks to inspire Australian travellers to visit South America to reinvigorate tourism in the region.
Unlike Europe and North America, which are bursting from overtourism, South American visitation hasn’t rebounded post-pandemic.
Major highlights such as Machu Picchu and Iguazu Falls, normally packed with tourists, currently have fewer crowds, allowing for more immersive and memorable experiences.
In Brazil, Australian visitor numbers are down 60 per cent compared to 2019 visitor numbers, while Peru has 50 per cent fewer international tourists compared to pre-pandemic levels.
This means now is the best time for Aussies to visit South America.
With its recently relaunched direct Melbourne-Santiago flight and daily service from Sydney to Santiago via Auckland, LATAM Airlines will transport more than 45,000 passengers a year to 144 destinations in under 13 hours.
Chimu, Chile and LATAM’s Big Five omnichannel campaign will include educational webinars for travel advisors and travellers that focus on the continent’s cuisine, landscapes, history, wildlife and culture.
Advisors can register for the online South America Trade event on Tuesday 24 October 2023 8:45-9:10am or 3:45-4:10pm.
After the event, answer one question and the agent with the best answer will win a 10-day Chimu adventure for two to Chile and Bolivia in 2024, flying LATAM.
