AROUND 70 corporate travel buyers from across the globe are visiting Australia at present as part of Tourism Australia’s Dreamtime B2B trade marketing event focusing on the high-yield business tourism market. At a function yesterday as part of the event, Tourism Australia md Andrew McEvoy highlighted the importance of growing business events as part of the 2020 Tourism Industry Potential which aims to double visitor spending over the next decade. Attendees were treated to a fabulous lunch at the new Black restaurant at The Star, where md Sid Vaikunta highlighted the hotel’s $100m multi-purpose convention facilities which can handle up to 3000 delegates. Qantas is also a key supporter of Dreamtime, while the Sydney program is being hosted by Business Events Sydney, which welcomed the international buyers last night at a fabulous function in a private harbourside marquee.
