QUOTES ATTRIBUTABLE TO ATIA CEO DEAN LONG: ‘Our inaugural Beyond Borders summit represents a significant milestone for the Australian Travel Industry. This is an unmatched opportunity for ATIA members and the broader sector to engage with global leaders, gain insights into emerging trends, and celebrate the vibrant future of travel. As we congregate to share knowledge and inspiration, we lay the groundwork for a revolutionary era in Australian travel.’ ‘Beyond Borders will delve into the robust resurgence of Travel and the exciting emerging trends for 2025. It promises to be an incubator for innovation, collaboration, and celebration, encapsulating the dynamic spirit of the industry.’ QUOTES ATTRIBUTABLE TO ATIA DIRECTOR OF MEMBERSHIP RICHARD TAYLOR: ‘Beyond Borders is more than an event — it’s a convergence of the finest in our industry. As we gather in anticipation of the NTIA awards, we create a synergy of celebration and learning. This summit is not just about recognising where we are; it’s about envisioning where we can go. It’s about transcending limits and shaping the future of travel.’ ‘This event really adds to the celebration, that is the NTIA awards night, by bringing the industry together to learn from high-profile leaders and each other. With so many guests in Sydney already for the awards, it really makes sense to add this opportunity for finalists and the industry as a whole.’ ‘NTIA finalists will be our honoured guests for the day as the kick-off event for Travel’s night of nights. We invite everyone to come and join us to be part of the conversation that drives our industry forward.’ Related Articles Travel has a new home – the Australian Travel Industry Association (ATIA) The Australian Travel Industry has a new peak industry body representing travel agents and advisors, tour operators, consolidators and wholesalers replacing the Australian Federation of Travel Agents (AFTA) effective today.
