Perth will host ATE19
Perth has been confirmed as the host city for next year’s Australian Tourism Exchange (ATE).
Australia’s largest annual tourism trade event will take place at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre from April 8 to 12 2019.
It will be organised by Tourism Australia in partnership with Tourism WA.
Around 3,000 delegates, including key Australian sellers and buyers from more than 30 countries, and more than 80 international and Australian media, attend the global event each year.
Australia’s Tourism Minister Paul Papalia said: "We’ve seen Perth, Australia’s sunniest capital city, transform into one of the nation’s most interesting destinations with a vibrant city life surrounded by nature, and ATE19 will be our time to really shine for an international audience.
"We want Perth to be one of the most desirable leisure and business event destinations in the world, and ATE19 gives us an extraordinary opportunity to position ourselves as Australia’s western gateway."
