Aussie agents flash mobbed at Visit USA

A recent Visit USA expo in Australia kicked off in style, with up to 40 exhibitors showcasing the best of the country and its flash mobbing skills.

With over one million Australian traveling to the USA last year, Visit USA Australia president Geoffrey Hutton explained the importance of the Australian market to the U.S., stating that Aussies travel on average to 2.5 states.

¡°Australian¡¯s tend to stay longer and spend more than anyone else visiting,¡± Consul General, United States of America, Niels Marquardt told those attending the Visit USA expo.

The expo showcased up to 40 exhibitors in an array of fun, colourful yet informative stands. With the regular destinations, attractions and hotels came some new kids on the block including Sonoma County Tourism Bureau, Eagle Rider, Korean Air and many more.

Once agents attending the evening had the opportunity to talk one on one with exhibitors, the night continued with a sit down dinner.
