Dreamtime 2015 continues to deliver

More than 140 media articles, worth an estimated $22 million in publicity value for Australia, have been generated as a result of Dreamtime 2015 – Tourism Australia’s signature event for the corporate incentive travel market. Adelaide Convention Bureau has reported three incentive groups have already been confirmed as a result of Dreamtime, with a further five currently under consideration. Ninety-five per cent of buyers stated they were more likely to send travelers to Australia as a result of attending Dreamtime. Read all about Dreamtime 2015 on the Business Events Australia website, with a new infographic, case study, and Dreamtime film now available.
