As with many organisations, the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis is forcing Tourism Australia to review and re-evaluate all aspects of its business, including its annual trade events program. 

Given the current situation, we regret to advise, that after close discussion and collaboration with our State and Territory Partners we have made the decision to cancel Australia Marketplace North America 2020 in Los Angeles, USA, from 3 to 6 August 2020. 

We understand this is disappointing given the extremely challenging times the tourism industry is now facing. However, given the current situation globally due to COVID-19 and the resulting travel and event restrictions in place it is a decision we have had to make.   

Whilst we have cancelled this year’s Australia Marketplace North America in its physical format, we are investigating alternative virtual options for the event. We will communicate details shortly.  

Our focus now is making sure Australia is well-positioned for the future when we’ve moved beyond these crises, and international travel picks up once again. We look forward to being able to host Australia Marketplace North America in 2021.
