Destination Perth

We were delighted to support Tourism Western Australia's Ni Hao event last night to host a group of key outbound travel agents at the Melbourne Hotel with Country Manager Christine Xu. The group have spent 8 jam packed days experiencing Perth, Swan Valley, Mandurah, Rockingham, Rottnest Island and Australia’s South West. Their last stop before flying out last night was a tour of the Melbourne Hotel followed by a dinner at The Grand Orient inspired by Cantonese flavours. Over dinner, the group shared highlights of their familiarisation trip with Wendy O'Shaughnessy which included Matagarup Zip & Climb, Kangaroo Safari at The Vines and Kings Park. 🦘🌿 #SeePerth #WATheDreamState
