Luxperience, an annual hosted buyer trade event for Australia and New Zealand, has declared its comeback 2023 event as a “resounding success”.
The luxury event, which was acquired by the Flight Centre Travel Group in April as part of the company’s growing Luxury Travel Collection, has revealed findings of its post-show survey – including that the event is expected to generate more than $12.5 million worth of bookings in 2024.
Luxperience 2023, returning after a three-year hiatus, connected more than 75 travel suppliers with more than 120 elite travel professionals in 4,300 one-on-one curated appointments and four networking events.
“Our buyers commended this year’s event for the outstanding calibre and diversity of suppliers, more than 50 per cent of which were new to the event,” said Event Director, Lynn Ormiston.
Other data gathered from the post-show survey revealed:
- 16 per cent of suppliers expect to generate over $500,000 in revenue over the next 12 months as a result of exhibiting.
- 88 per cent of suppliers confirmed that attending Luxperience is important to their business – with 90 per cent rating Luxperience as exceptional for return on investment.
- 97 per cent of buyers are very likely to purchase a product or service from an exhibitor at the event.
- 95 per cent of buyers say that attending is important to their business with a satisfaction rating of 4.4/5 for the quality of travel suppliers in attendance.
Luxperience 2024 will run from 19-22 November 2024 at the ICC in Sydney. Registration closes 9 September 2024.
Next year’s event will see the addition of a one-day Business Development Summit preceding the personal appointment schedules, where high profile panellists will come together to discuss topical issues in the luxury travel segment.
