Why is Niche is Nice 2026 a must-attend?
Niche is Nice continues to carve out a distinctive space in the annual trade calendar, focusing on specialist and experiential travel segments and under-the-radar destinations that are often underrepresented at larger industry events.
Previous roadshows have attracted hundreds of savvy advisors and more than 40 suppliers at each event, including strong participation from Council of Australian Tour Operators (CATO) members showcasing diverse global products and travel services.
This year’s niche suppliers include Platinum Partner, HX Expeditions, along with Gold Plus supplier Evolution Travel Collective, and Gold suppliers Albatross Tours, Go Insurance, Inside Travel Group, Luxury Escapes, MW Tours, Ormina Tours, PassportCard, Ponant Explorations, Quark Expeditions, Uniworld Boutique River Cruises, Viking and V Travel Network, to name just a few.
Each event gives advisors direct access to one-of-a-kind products and unique destinations, differentiating offerings for your discerning clients, while offering a cost-effective, high-impact platform for boutique travel brands and specialist suppliers to showcase travel products.
And because Niche is Nice 2026 is presented by Karryon, you can expect a fun and immersive evening of networking and learning in an informal setting with plenty of drinks and nibbles.
Upskill with absorbing presentations, exciting activations and a free-flowing marketplace, allowing you to mix and mingle with all exhibitors, plus amazing major prizes on offer.
