Welcome From Peter Shelley

ATEC's Managing Director


ATEC is delighted to partner with Tourism Western Australia to deliver its flagship event, Meeting Place in Perth/Boorloo, Western Australia (WA) this October. Hosting Meeting Place is a great opportunity for the state and city to reinforce its tourism offering as international visitors reengage with Destination Australia. It is also an exceptional platform for showcasing Western Australia, bringing together the people who sell Australia to the world and delivering them right to your front door.

With a concentrated number of international travel buyers gathered in one place, Meeting Place, with its 50+ year history, is the most accessible interface for Australian export tourism businesses to put their products in front of the right people.

Meeting Place plays a central role in Australia’s tourism export sector, enabling our industry to connect, collaborate and do business. With Perth as the host city, it will offer attendees the perfect mix of high-value commercial outcomes and unforgettable destination experiences. This year’s event will also offer pre-event famils for buyers and the opportunity to visit iconic WA destinations including Rottnest Island, renowned for its famous quokkas.

Western Australia offers an amazing diversity of experiences and there has been considerable investment in creating and building tourism products and experiences which can meet the needs of international visitors and delegates will be keen to take a close look at the latest and greatest the state can offer.

We look forward to seeing you this October!
