The Visit USA Expo 2024 Series culminated at the well-attended Sydney event after back-to-back roadshows in Melbourne and Brisbane with more than 80 US suppliers in attendance and over 600 travel advisors across the three days.
The final Visit USA Expo 2024 event in Sydney was a show-stopping success with more than 260 travel agents joining exhibitors for a night of networking, presentations, themed food and prize giveaways.
The Expo Hall plus presentations, including the new addition of the Responsible Tourism panel discussion, helped foster a thorough comprehension of the evolving landscape of travel in the USA.
US Consul General for New South Wales and Queensland Christine Elder shared the ‘One-Stop’ program news with advisors, which will enable Australian passengers transiting to an onward destination within the US to bypass security screening in the transit airport.
The Sydney-San Francisco route will be the first worldwide to trial the pilot program.
Sydney advisors were also entertained by a live performance by & JULIET musical star Lorinda May Merrypor ahead of its opening next week, thanks to New York City Tourism + Conventions.
Visit USA Australia President Caroline Davidson expressed her gratitude to all in attendance, including the outgoing 2023 Visit USA Executive Committee.
“The Sydney Expo was an incredible conclusion to our Expo Series. We are truly appreciative of the overwhelming support from travel agents, exhibitors and industry professionals who made this event a resounding success.”
