What is tourism representation in Australia and New Zealand?
Tourism representation in Australia and New Zealand is about having a local team promote your destination or travel brand to travel agents, the media and travellers. At Linkd Tourism, we connect your brand with important partners, help you get media coverage and create strategies that turn interest into bookings.
Why should U.S. travel brands invest in the Australia and New Zealand market?

Linkd Tourism helps U.S. brands reach these travelers by matching your offerings with what ANZ travelers and their travel agents want.
How do I enter the Australian travel market as a U.S. destination?
To enter the Australian travel market successfully, you need a local partner who understands how travel is sold and what travellers want. Linkd Tourism creates custom strategies for U.S. destinations, connecting you with important travel agents, wholesalers, and media to build awareness and bookings from the start.
