A collection of some of the best leisure and meeting hotels and resorts in Asia Pacific will be coming to Sydney and Melbourne in early August, as IHG brings representatives from InterContinental and Crowne Plaza properties from across the region to meet the industry.

Breakfast and evening cocktail showcases will be held in Sydney on Tuesday 7 August and Melbourne on Thursday 9 August, providing a unique opportunity for agents, wholesalers and meeting organizers to see what’s new, what’s coming and gain insights in to current and future trends at IHG.

IHG will highlight its upscale and luxury offerings in Hong Kong, Mumbai, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, French Polynesia and China at the events, while attendees will have the chance to win flight and accommodation packages to InterContinental and Crowne Plaza hotels and resorts across the region at each event.

That said, we’re excited at the prospect of sending a handful of lucky participants to visit these fabulous destinations, as well as looking forward to catching up with industry colleagues in Sydney and Melbourne at the same time,” said IHG regional director of sales and marketing Australia, New Zealand and South Pacific, Karin Nielsen.
