About 70 airlines, tourist authorities, tour operators, adventure suppliers and rental car companies will exhibit their services at this year's Travel Expo at Greenlane's Logan Campbell Centre on Sunday.
Tourist authorities include those from Canada, Cook Islands, Fiji, Hawaii, Hong Kong, New Caledonia, Niue, Norfolk Island, Northern Territory, Samoa, Tahiti andVanuatu.
"The value of having tourist authorities represented is that you can talk to experts from the countries you are thinking of visiting," says Matt Freeman, marketing manager of Flight Centre, which is organising the event. Travel operators will also show nine films, with screenings every half-hour from 10.15 am.
Overseas Working Holidays will promote a Pub UK programme - which provides a live-in job paying $100 to $450 a week, with training, to travellers aged 18 or older who have British work permits.
Expo-goers can enter a draw for two free return air tickets to London, flying Qantas and British Airways - a prize worth about $5000. Entry to Travel Expo is free. It is open from 10 am to 4 pm.
