Sorry, But this event has now ended

Kiwi North will return to Australia: 24-28 August 2026.

 

This is the premier travel trade activation in Australia for the Kiwi North collaboration across all 15 regional tourism organisations of the North Island.

Based on last year's feedback, Brisbane was added as an event location with the plan to grow the previous numbers of 300 connections across Sydney and Melbourne even more.

 

Is it right for me?

This tradeshow is specifically designed for travel trade ready operators, selling and promoting into the Australian marketplace and would like to grow relationships with the Australian travel trade stakeholders.

Locations:  Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
Format:  Similar to last year - with a few tweaks based on everyone’s feedback
Number of Spots available: 75
Target:  around 250-300 in-market contacts

Participation investment: 

 

Inclusions

$4,000 NZD

 

4 nights accommodation, four events in three cities.

How will applications be reviewed?

With a huge amount of interest and very limited spaces to take sellers over, we unfortunately will not be able to take everyone. The decision on who will be attending will be in collaboration with your RTO and based on trade readiness, market and product mix, participation in destination partnership programmes, and any applicable memberships (Qualmark, TEC, TIA). This year we are planning on having 75  places available. Based on last year's experience, we received more than 100 expressions of interest applications, so please don't book any travel arrangements until your place is confirmed. We will be communicating the first round of places allocated around 5th of March.
