Australian Tourism Exchange

It was a pleasure to represent the Fleurieu Peninsula at the ATE in Perth this year. With 100's of tourism trade shows to choose from world wide, the ATE is the largest Australian held show and managed by Tourism Australia. Attended by more than 2000 retailers and wholesalers as well as media from around the globe, it's an opportunity for the Fleurieu as a region to be showcased to trade and media. It also gives a chance for participating operators to have their businesses considered for itineraries or listed on trade consumer sites.

While I met with a good mix of trade from the UK, USA, Singapore, New Zealand, China, India, Indonesia and Malaysia, as well as Australian trade, ATE also provides the opportunity to meet with SATC and Tourism Australia staff posted overseas - they too get an update of the region, many of them are trainers to the trade.

SA Media Gallery
SATC has launched a new media gallery - web address is still media.southaustralia.com. If you have used the gallery before to source images you'll need to re-register next time you use it. Tourism operators are also encouraged to submit their very best high quality images to SATC to consider for inclusion in the gallery. Media, travel trade and industry partners like FPT use images from the gallery so it can lead to great free exposure. For more info on the style of images that best fit with state branding, contact April Dowdell at SATC on 08 8463 4746 or April.Dowdell@sa.gov.au.
