Corroboree- The America’s Information Session

Corroboree is a convention dedicated to the education and training of ‘Aussie Specialists’, retail agents committed to marketing and selling Australia as a vacation destination to American Consumers.

It is an opportunity to educate, train, motivate, and facilitate awareness, through a touch and feel experience, giving agents the confidence and understanding of what Australia has to offer and to assist them in selling Australia as a tourist destination.

Corroboree’s program of marketplace appointments, workshops, networking events – and yes, food & wine - really is a recipe for business success.’

Corroboree 2007 will see around 360 tourism professionals in The Hunter Valley and to add a special touch to the event this year the Hunter Valley is providing individualized ‘Showcase experiences’ where the Aussie Specialists are invited to attend an experience of their choice in the Hunter Region.

This includes experiences such as Horse and Carriage Winery Tour, Modern Australian Cooking School, Wine and Food Matching, Beer Tasting and Food Tour, Golf Clinic with Golf Professional, Gardens and Galleries, Hunter Hotel Trail, Aboriginal Caves Experience, History Boutiques and Antiques, Morpeth & Maitland Jail Tour.

From fine wines and gourmet food to luxury accommodation and stunning scenery, this three day event will certainly show that the Hunter Valley offers a true taste of the good life, in one of the oldest wine –growing areas in Australia.

According to Tourism Australia:

‘We’re heading to the famed Hunter Valley this September to 'taste test' more ways Australia satisfies the appetites of even the most demanding client’.

The event will take place over three days – Wednesday 12th September to Friday 15th September and while Tourism Australia were expecting attendance to be around or under 150, the confirmed numbers came back at 165 ‘Aussie Specialist’ agents, which more then exceeded expectations.
