Helloworld Travel’s 2024 Frontliners Forum has successfully concluded, bringing over 500 travel agents and supplier partners from Australia and New Zealand to Singapore for four days of networking, learning and, of course, a lot of little fun.

Held at the iconic Marina Bay Sands Conference Centre, attendees from Helloworld’s branded and associate networks, My Travel Group, and Magellan gathered for insightful sessions, industry updates and significant announcements.

The theme, ‘Partners in Excellence,’ highlighted the power of collaboration across the Helloworld network. 

A standout moment came from MC and Australian Paralympian Kelly Cartwright OAM, whose inspiring keynote captivated delegates with her personal journey.

The forum also featured updates from Helloworld’s wholesale and cruise division, alongside the return of Fares at the Fair, where top airlines shared the latest news and prizes with delegates.

Evening highlights included a private cocktail event at The Riverhouse, a Hello event at the Singapore EDITION, and a gala awards dinner sponsored by Singapore Airlines, where high achievers and rising stars were recognised.
