Buyer registrations for the South Pacific Tourism Exchange 2015 will close this Friday, 20th March and spaces are running out.

Tour operators, wholesale buyers and travel agents from around the world are being invited to register for the South Pacific Tourism Exchange (SPTE) 2015, the South Pacific's only regional tourism event.

The organisers, the South Pacific Tourism Organisation (SPTO), are offering 3-free nights' accommodation for all registered buyers at three designated hotels in Melbourne for the exchange.

The SPTE 2015 is aptly organized just days before the Australian Tourism Exchange (ATE) 2015, which will allow buyers the opportunity to attend both events. The SPTO is working in collaboration with Tourism Australia on invitations to Buyers attending and participating at the ATE 2015 from the 21st – 25th June.

SPTE will feature 80 National Tourism Boards, accommodation providers, private sector members and hotels from the South Pacific region.

The two-day event will be held on the 19-20 June at the Melbourne Convention Centre.

SPTO Chief Executive Ilisoni Vuidreketi said SPTE offers a one stop shop for tourism products from the South Pacific.

“SPTE 2015 is the only regional tourism exchange where 80 tourism sellers, accommodation providers, the private sector and hotels from the South Pacific will come together to do business with international buyers”, Mr. Vuidreketi stated.

“It is truly an opportunity not to be missed because you will not get the chance to network and do business with the South Pacific's best tourism operators in one place anywhere else. SPTE 2015 will give you that opportunity in Melbourne this year,” he added.
