Helloworld Travel (HLO) has announced that their 2026 Owner Manager Conference (OMC) will be held at the Cairns Convention Centre.
Partnering with Tourism and Events Queensland, the 2026 OMC will take place from June 11-14, 2026. In Vancouver, Canada, during the closing day of the 2025 Helloworld Travel OMC, CEO Andrew Burnes revealed the destination for the next conference to 500 delegates.
“Personally, we have a strong connection with Cairns. Dating back to the late 1980s when we started AOT, then the Australian Outback Travel Company, as a safari company running tours out of Cairns to Cape York. We spent 10 years in Cairns setting up and growing the AOT business. Now, almost 40 years later we are heading back to where it all began.”
“As always, we will put together an amazing programme for the OMC and we know our agents will thoroughly enjoy Cairns and all it has to offer,” Burnes added.
