AUSTRALIAN TOURISM EXCHANGE 2021
The Australian Tourism Exchange (ATE) is planned to take place in Sydney and online, in June 2021.
Tourism Australia is planning a hybrid event that includes in-person and virtual event components that ensures the tourism industry can meet, exchange knowledge, and make business connections.
WHEN WILL ATE BE HELD?
ATE Live is planned to be held from 6 to 9 June at the International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney). This will be for international buyers who are based in Australia or located in countries permitted to travel to Australia, domestic buyers and frontline travel sellers. ATE Online will immediately follow, from 10 to 17 June, for international buyers who are unable to travel due to border restrictions. Australian sellers may apply to attend both the ATE Live and ATE Online events.
A NEW LAYOUT
This year’s trade show layout will be different to previous ATE events. Traditional seller booths will be replaced with networking areas defined by State and Territories, and appointments will take place throughout the trade show floor. As there will be more sellers than buyers attending the event, buyers will remain stationary while sellers will move between appointments. This change will save sellers considerable time in the lead up as well as delivering cost savings on booth design and imagery. The trade show will still have its great 'ATE' feel and all our States and Territories will be on show to attendees.
