Visit USA Australia’s events were back with a bang last night at the 2022 Hybrid Expo with more than 60 travel agents, over 20 US exhibitors, and the ever-vibrant MC Richard Reid.
Last night, Visit USA Australia made their loud arrival back to in-person events with the Visit USA Australia Hybrid Expo.
The event, held at The Tea Room at the QVB in Sydney, was a fun-filled affair with celebrity MC Richard Reid entertaining agents and suppliers alike.
More than 60 agents braved the wild weather to hear more than 20 USA exhibitors deliver Ted-talk style updates on all things USA.
The event was also streamed virtually for agents across the country.
MC Richard Reid, sponsored by Delta Air Lines and event sponsors Los Angeles Tourism & Convention Board and LAX Airport, Utah Office of Tourism, Travel Texas, Rocky Mountaineer and NYC & Company, ensured the action-packed and informative evening was the perfect re-introduction to USA events.
The Organisation’s AGM was held ahead of the event and saw a new President and Committee announced. Caroline Davidson of Rocky Mountain International was elected President of the Organisation. Davidson has served on the Executive Committee since 2015, most recently as the Vice President of the Organisation.
“It’s a great honour to take on this role and I look forward to working alongside the 2022 Committee to revitalise travel to the USA, support our Members, and host travel agents at engaging and brilliant events across the country. Back to what we do best.”
Caroline Davidson, who represents Great America West – Idaho/Montana/ Wyoming/North Dakota/South Dakota, told Karryon’s Dani Tuffield that her recent trip to the U.S. “was seamless”.
She said, “people are welcoming Australians back, there are all those experiences just waiting to happen, masses of the Great Outdoors, masses of different experiences right across the USA – city, country, there are adventures to be had.”
