North American agents advocate Australia in new film

A new film, featuring a group of North American agents on a recent incentive educational to Uluru and Sydney, has been produced by Tourism Australia to further promote the country’s credentials as a business events destination. The film captures the agents’ experiences and reactions as they visit both destinations for the very first time. Available on the Business Events Australia website, the film will become a tool to assist industry and North American buyers to educate and inspire their clients to hold their next business event in Australia.
