Harbour Town strengthens ties with inbound tourism

Harbour Town is set to strengthen its relationship with inbound tourism operators after becoming a 12-month Premium Corporate Partner of the Australian Tourism Export Council (ATEC) – Australia’s peak industry body representing the tourism export sector.

The partnership with ATEC will see Harbour Town receive exposure at major national trade events including ATEC Meeting Place 2010 and ATEC Symposium 2011, and give Harbour Town access to ATEC’s membership database to generate new business opportunities.

“Our partnership with ATEC provides an excellent opportunity to showcase Harbour Town as a major tourist destination to hundreds of inbound tour operators, tourism product suppliers and service providers,” Harbour Town National Marketing Manager Angela Gore says.

Harbour Town Shopping Centres are Australia’s leading outlet and specialty shopping destinations with major outlets on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Melbourne in Victoria, Perth in Western Australia and Adelaide in South Australia.

Holiday makers can access tourism lounges in each location and receive the red carpet treatment, including a VIP Tourism Club Card offering even further discounts across a range of brands.

Shopping at Harbour Town is also an ideal choice for leisure or free day activities and partner programmes on conference, convention and business travel itineraries with Harbour Town offering:

• Tourism Lounge meet & greet service
• Free Tourism Club Card offering further discounts and value added incentives
• A comfortable Tourism Lounge to enjoy refreshments & await departure
• Parcel / luggage minding service
• Coach arrival bays located directly outside the Tourism Lounge
• Prayer Room (halal restaurants also available)

Ms Gore says conference organisers are also offered a range of shopping programs including full or half day tours with refreshments or lunch while programs can also be tailored to suit specific needs.

“So whether visiting Australia while on holidays or for business, a visit to Harbour Towns Shopping Centres is a must,” she says.
