More than 55 visiting American representatives from tourism bureaus and travel/tourism providers will descend on Sydney, Perth, Melbourne and Brisbane for the February Visit USA’s Australian travel trade expos.
In keeping with the sporting theme of the expos, each is co-sponsored by Major League Baseball, which means travel trade guests can look forward to plenty of ball-slinging fun, designed to recreate the sights, sounds and smells of a baseball game.
Guests will be welcomed by the aroma of buttery popcorn and the sounds of a jazz band before trying their hand in an inflatable pitching cage, on a Wii console, at ping-pong tables or on a mini-field, where a home run hitting competition will test skill.
American Baseball League players and mascots will be on hand as well as costumes and a photo booth, so guests can dress up as their favourite player and capture the moment.
The Visit USA Organisation (Australia) Expos will take place in Perth, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane from February 13 to 19, 2013.
