This year’s top contenders in the National Travel Industry Awards will be rubbing shoulders with some of the world’s most famous celebrities at the highly anticipated NTIA 2024 Finalist Celebration, taking place on Friday, 25 October from 6-8pm.
Major Sponsor Viking will host the NTIA 2024 Finalist Celebration at Madame Tussauds Sydney in Darling Harbour where award contenders can mix and mingle with the likes of Chris Hemsworth, Harry Styles, Ryan Gosling, Taylor Swift and Batman.
The Australian Travel Industry Association (ATIA) team is also looking forward to delivering the inaugural Beyond Borders Summit on Friday, 25 October, making the weekend’s festivities even bigger with a double-header celebration alongside NTIA.
The NTIA 2024 Finalist Celebration at Madame Tussauds follows the success of last year’s event at Holey Moley Melbourne with entry by invitation only for NTIA Finalists.
ATIA CEO Dean Long said these events will bring additional fun to the big weekend for travel professionals.
“We know many people have heard of Madame Tussauds but never visited this attraction. The NTIA Finalist Celebration will bring our 2024 finalists together for the first time before the awards, allowing them to meet and network with their fellow travel professionals,” he said.
Viking Managing Director ANZ Michelle Black said the Viking team is excited to sponsor the NTIA Finalist Celebration again this year.
“It’s an opportunity for us to celebrate the best of the best across our industry in a unique way. Rest assured, it won’t just be the waxed celebrities and heroes in the spotlight. Expect an evening of distinctive Viking fun, along with surprises around every corner,” she said.
