GTA launches Queensland Australia promotion for GCC travel agents

QUEENSLAND - 120 travel agents from the Middle East’s GCC arrive in the United Arab Emirates next week to learn more about some of Australia’s accommodation providers, service and experience suppliers and airlines.

Organised by Tourism & Events Queensland, global travel distributor GTA is the only online wholesaler participating in roadshows in Abu Dhabi (20 January) and Dubai (22 January). Together, the two companies have launched a four-page flyer with a series of special offers for Middle Eastern travellers.

During the roadshows, travel agents will receive a series of presentations to increase their familiarity with ‘Australia’s playground’ and the kinds of accommodation available, the experiences to enjoy, and practical information about how to get visas and flight connections. Destinations include Cairns, Brisbane, the Gold and Sunshine Coasts, and the Whitsundays.

Rami Mashini, GTA’s Vice President of Sales for the Middle East & Africa, says: “Middle Eastern travel agents know that they can rely on our thorough understanding of the world’s destinations and this is a fantastic opportunity to showcase the best of Queensland. Our worldwide reach and decades of travel expertise means we can act quickly to secure allocations throughout the year, to negotiate attractive – and free – cancellation terms, as well as the special offers, promotions and competitive rates that are included in the promotion we are launching during the trade shows.”

Australia is a popular destination for Middle Eastern travellers and passport holders from Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia or the United Arab Emirates can easily apply online for a holiday visa.
