Sydney has been chosen as the host destination for the 2014 Australian Youth Tourism Exchange, an initiative of the Australian Tourism Export Council (ATEC) in partnership with Destination NSW.
It is the first time ATEC has partnered with a state tourism organisation on the event.
It will be held over three days from May 20-22, 2014.
AYTE is recognised as the only international trade event in Australia that focuses on connecting Australian backpacker, youth, adventure and education suppliers with international distributors.
The event programme includes scheduled workshop appointments between distributors and suppliers, networking events and post-event familiarisations.
In addition to AYTE, the annual Australian Backpacker & Youth Industry Conference (ABYIC) will be held in conjunction with the event.
Destination NSW CEO, Sandra Chipchase, said: "Sydney is the ideal destination to host AYTE, as we are the gateway for youth travel in Australia."
