As part of Tourism Australia's preparedness for when it opens its border for travelers from the U.S. and Canada, it invites responses to an RFP for event management services in North America.

The scope of the tender is focused on the planning and delivery of an expected roadshow across 11 cities in the U.S. and Canada for our key B-to-B leisure audience and influential travel journalists and media. The roadshow will be a key pillar of Tourism Australia's recovery efforts to engage and excite our partners once Australia has reopened its borders.

The tender is expected to follow these key requirements:

  • Event Location Sourcing: Source and contract relevant event locations in each of the 11 cities identified.
  • Event Production: Support event production based on the proposed format for the events in each city.
  • Event Planning and Logistics: Handle all contract negotiation and event needs for each location and venue, including food and beverage and audiovisual requirements.

The tender scope is for an initial term of 12 months until June 30, 2022, with the option for a possible extension until June 30, 2023. Act quickly: The closing date for submissions is 4 pm PDT April 19, 2021.

Tourism Australia is excited to received tender responses from relevant organizations that have an appetite to support its needs. Detailed requirements on the scope and tender process and deadlines can be found on the Australian Government tender website AusTender.
