Although most Dreamtime 2013 delegates came from Asia, North America was well represented by buyers from Toronto and the U.S. Following are some reflections on the experience.
Kelly Whitney; Account Executive; Maritz Travel Company; St. Louis
(first visit to Australia)
“Now I know why this amazing country is such a bucket list destination. Melbourne and its local suppliers put on an excellent showcase, and while originally concerned about the short meeting format, I learned a great deal from speaking with 30 representatives from around Australia.”
Sylvia Flores; Senior Product Buyer; IQ Business Events; Toronto (first visit to Australia)
“The trade show format was effective and informative, with all suppliers well-prepared and conveniently providing e-material. Cosmopolitan and relaxing, Melbourne is a must-discover city, along with Australia itself. Put this destination on your radar—the products and venues are amazing, with offers for every budget and lifestyle.”
Mark Griffin; Senior Director, Incentives and Meetings; Wyndham Jade; Plano, Texas (third visit to Australia)
“I could keep going and discover entirely new possibilities every time. It was a precise show that made great use of our time, something much respected in our industry. Spend a couple extra hours on a jetliner to revel in the sights, sounds, tastes and people that make up Australia. Mark it off your bucket list.”
