Sydney, New South Wales
Welcome Welcome to TravMedia’s International Media Marketplace Australia 2022. It is my absolute pleasure to welcome everyone back to ICC Sydney as we celebrate our tenth year of global IMM events. Without a doubt, the last two years have been the most challenging our industry has ever had to face. Everyone in attendance today is a testament to the camaraderie and resilience of our industry. While the pandemic is certainly not behind us, we are encouraged by clear signs of recovery. Increasing worldwide vaccination rates and easing travel restrictions drive an emerging trend towards easier global travel as we learn to cope with Covid. This year feels significant to bring together so many of Australia’s most influential travel journalists, editors, and broadcasters to meet and reconnect with some of the world’s leading travel and tourism brands and share our stories of recovery. Thank you to everyone who has travelled here today, especially those who return each year. A very special thank you to our premier partner Tourism Australia, key partners Destination NSW, Hyatt Regency Sydney, Qatar National Tourism Authority, United Airlines and Coral Expeditions and all of our other sponsors. Without you and your support, today would not be possible. We wish everyone a highly productive day connecting with old and new friends to plan a year’s worth of stories and face-to-face interactions in the year ahead. Thank you to the 50,000 strong TravMedia Community for all your support today and throughout the year. Nick Wayland | CEO & Founder TravMedia | IMM | The Summit | TravTrade
