Brand USA ambassadors Cara Buhagiar from Helloworld Lower Templestowe, Abby Pezze from Wolf and Turner Travel Associates, Jessica O’Grady from Cruiseabout and Brittany Mason from Mr Chocolates Travel attended the event. They shared their experiences to date and personal culinary highlights from their travels in the USA throughout the evening.

Brand USA Australia and New Zealand trade director Tristan Freedman said events like America the Bountiful play an important role in connecting travel advisors with destination partners and inspiring new ways to experience the United States.

“Culinary experiences offer a meaningful way to connect travellers with the culture, people and stories of a destination. Bringing our destination partners and travel advisors together creates opportunities to share knowledge, spark ideas and inspire more engaging U.S. itineraries.”

The event also marked the launch of Brand USA’s new America the Bountiful agent resource, designed to help travel advisors explore and share culinary experiences across the country.
