Cairns hosts Australian Tourism Exchange ATE14

It's gearing up to be a HUGE week in Cairns, Queensland Australia. Cairns is playing host to more than 1200 delegates international destinations such as the United Kingdom, South America, Canada, Finland the United States, Germany to name but a few, for Australian Tourism Exchange 2014.

The Australian Tourism Exchange 2014 (#ATE14) is the largest annual tourism industry event in Australia, and provides an opportunity for Australian tour operators and industry representatives to promote our wonderful part of the world. Not only do delegates get introduced to the best of what Australia has to offer in terms of a travel destination, they also have the opportunity to experience first hand the accommodation, sights and tours of Cairns, Port Douglas, The Great Barrier Reef, the Atherton Tablelands and the magnificent World Heritage Rainforest.

Naturally, Hot Air Balloon Cairns will be well represented at #ATE14. As the numbers begin to build in Cairns as #ATE14 delegates begin to trickle in to the region, the skies that we are famous for have begun to look bluer, the sunrises more breath-taking, and the atmosphere along the Cairns Esplanade more energetic.

The actual dates of the #ATE14 trade event are 11-15 May, however Cairns International Airport can expect to become busy from now and leading up to this weekend as around 450 company representatives and more than 50 domestic and international media descend on Cairns.

Hot Air Balloon Cairns is well equipped to accommodate those involved in and associated with #ATE14. Our fleet includes balloons and baskets capable of accommodating any number and any combination of passengers. With balloons able to carry 2 people (for those special, once in a lifetime, exclusive and intimate flights) through to 12-person, 16-person, 20-person and 24-person basket/balloon setups allowing 360-degree panoramic views, there's no limitation on excitement!
