Novotel & Mercure Darwin Airport Resort features a new pool, aquatic playground, and poolside dining
Australia’s first airport resort launches following the complete re-imagination and integration of two existing airport hotels at Darwin Airport.
The unveiling of the Novotel & Mercure Darwin Airport Resort follows a A$30 million (US$19.75 million) investment by the Airport Development Group, which also owns the adjacent Darwin Airport.
Novotel & Mercure Darwin Airport Resort features a new pool, aquatic playground, and poolside dining
Located on the lands of the Larrakia Nation, the two hotels had separate receptions previously but will now have a combined reception area, along with a new 60m swimming pool, poolside cabanas, children’s aquatic playground, and poolside dining.
Featuring 423 rooms, the resort offers other accommodation choices such as family suites, bungalows (with kitchenette facilities), and new five-star tropical villas with their own plunge pools, which are named after a leading Territorian to show their connection to Larrakia country.
The resort now offers two poolside dining options – the new Splash Café joins the laid-back Cossie’s Poolside Bar & Bistro, which showcases the Territory’s famous barramundi as well as grills, salads, pizzas and burgers, as well as tropical cocktails and mocktails.
Situated a short walk from the resort is Gurambai, which is the Larrakia name for the area known as the Rapid Creek Conservation Reserve featuring Darwin’s only natural freshwater creek. The hotels plan to introduce the Gurambai Cultural Experience to give guests an appreciation of Larrakia culture. Curated by Larrakia guides, it will comprise a one-hour guided walking tour with information about the area’s cultural and historical significance, their connection to the land and freshwater, and information about some of the Reserve’s seasonal bush tucker.
Tourism attractions such as Litchfield and Kakadu National Parks are just 80 minutes and two and a half hours drive, respectively, from the resort.
Darwin Airport Resort general manager, Chris Chaffe, said: “Integrating and recognising Larrakia Indigenous culture and heritage has been an integral component of the project.
“The new resort is enriched with Aboriginal art and themes, inside and out, providing an appropriate reminder that this pioneering world-class resort is on the lands of the world’s longest-surviving culture.”
In addition, Darwin Airport is a feeder airport to a number of international destinations and local Territory destinations such as the Tiwi Islands, Katherine and Arnhem Land, thus the new resort will provide an ideal base for visitors travelling elsewhere in the Top End of Australia’s Northern Territory.
Hong Kong Tourism Board and the government have been extra generous with subvention support this year. How do you see that impacting AsiaWorld-Expo’s (AWE) ability to sign on new events?
We’re very grateful that the Hong Kong government is giving full support by launching in July this year another HK$1.4 billion (US$179.6 million) worth of incentive to support recurring exhibitions. This scheme is already in effect, and will run until June 30, 2026. It is expected to support about 200 exhibitions, and grants qualified ones 100 per cent rental subsidy. It really helps a lot, particularly for the rebound of our exhibition industry.
The scheme truly helps when we market overseas to attract new organisers to try out new event themes in Hong Kong. Right now, most event themes in Hong Kong are around electronics, fashion and jewellery. With such support, organisers are more willing to explore new exhibitions here since staging their events will come with reduced financial requirements.
Furthermore, the scheme is designed to encourage recurring exhibitions. The first event edition will gain 75 per cent of rental coverage funding, and the remaining 25 per cent will be given during the second event edition.
This has already brought good results. Super Terminal Expo, which will take place in November 2024, is one outcome. It is exciting because it is an inaugural show for the transportation and logistics industries in Hong Kong and the rest of Asia. Our business development team has been working on this event topic for quite a few years, even before the pandemic.
There is a Passenger Terminal Expo in Europe that is focused on aviation and airport terminals. Super Terminal Expo in Hong Kong will be organised by Informa Markets, a big player, and will cover airport terminal, cargo terminal, logistics railway terminal, and more. It will be groundbreaking.
Does AWE establish and organise its own events?
Our business development team of 20-something staff is tasked with finding new events. That’s their KPI. They conduct a lot of research to see what topics are really interesting for Hong Kong and Asia, and to determine if events specialising in such topics would be successful for a long time. Then, they will go out and find if such events already exist. They will talk to the organiser about bringing the event to Hong Kong.
We are doing this extensively, and more of such developed events will be announced soon.
What is AWE doing to also sweeten the deal for event organisers?
We do a lot of facilitation for our event organisers. We do not just rent halls. We walk the extra mile for them and act as their partners. We want to make sure that all our event organisers and their visitors are completely satisfied with their visit.
One of the things we have done is to offer on-site baggage check-in services for event attendees. We started doing this three years ago. With this service, event attendees will not need to rush from the venue to the airport on the last day of their event. They can check their luggage in for their flight home at counters set up on site. AWE is part of Airport Authority Hong Kong, so we are able to get such support from the airport team.
AWE bears the cost of this service, which would be in the zone of five figures. That’s ok though, because we know this will enhance the experience of event attendees. However, we do this only for mega events, like Jewellery & Gem WORLD Hong Kong.
What does AWE observe as being the most critical for event organisers who are considering Hong Kong for their upcoming events? Are these conditions any different from pre-pandemic times?
Event organisers consider global connectivity, tax rates, customs, legal and judiciary systems when selecting destinations for their events. Hong Kong checks all these boxes and is still an attractive destination for most events.
These factors are still important post-lockdown, but Hong Kong’s close proximity to the Greater Bay Area is now also an attractive factor for event organisers considering Asia. Because of the well-established infrastructure network connecting Hong Kong with the Greater Bay Area, many regard Hong Kong as the base from which they can connect with the China market.
It is also a fact that travel is more expensive these days, so people prefer to cover many cities for business at one go. Starting from Hong Kong, they can easily extend into other Chinese cities.
This connection advantage, along with the incentive scheme mentioned earlier, allows AWE to be more empowered to bring new events to Hong Kong.
Does your team also help with delegate boosting efforts?
We do. We very recently signed an Agreement On Strategic Partnership And Cooperation with KINTEX (Korea International Exhibition Centre), which will see us both working together to promote the development of the MICE industry in the Asia-Pacific region.
If we can join forces to attract more events and delegates over to Asia-Pacific, we will do it. The event could rotate in the region or lead to spin-offs in several cities.
What would you say is the most important newly acquired event for AWE in 2024 and 2025?
Well, Super Terminal Expo in 2024 is one. In 2025, we will have UFI Global Congress. Held annually in renowned tradeshow destinations, the last global edition hosted in Asia-Pacific region was in 2019.
UFI represents an industry that involves all the significant and influential event organisers, stakeholders, partners, production houses, etc, so it will give us a great chance to showcase Hong Kong’s ability to connect events with the Greater Bay Area.
Event delegates are increasingly mixing business with leisure. Is AWE able to bring leisure elements into the event programme?
Oh, of course! We have what we call the EXPOtainment CUBE where we customise an array of visitor engagement programmes based on the nature of the show. One example is to offer local foodstuff like craft beers, siew mai, and gai zai cookies for international event delegates to pick up and enjoy. These are very local snacks that are loved by Hong Kong people. Event attendees need only to show the free-to-download AsiaWorld-Expo app to get these snacks and they can hang around and enjoy them.
Last September, we organised a jazz performance for event attendees. It took place around the end of the event show day, just in time for relaxed networking. We also offered some street food along with the jazz performance.
We make all these complimentary for event organisers, in the hope of providing a more unique experience for clients and their attendees.
Once our Phase 2 expansion is completed in 2027/2028 and we get our 20,000-pax arena, we will try to co-locate some of the live entertainment events hosted there with exhibitions. This will allow exhibition attendees to adjourn for some entertainment.
You know, we are world famous for hosting international concerts – K-pop, Western pop, J-pop, and even Thai-pop! After travelling all the way to Hong Kong for business, why not stay for some performances too?
We have also spoken to 11 SKIES, which is just adjacent to our complex, about sponsoring one free trial of one of its many fun activities for event attendees.
We aim for total experience at all events.
AWE does both business events and concerts. Is there an ideal proportion of event types for the venue, or does it not matter at all?
I do not think it matters at all. The trend now is integrated shows. We have conferences that combine exhibitions and entertainment – like the three-day ComplexCon (March 22-24, 2024), which will be a pop culture festival featuring street style, trainers, art, food, music and forums. How am I going to split that up?
It is far more important to look at the number of show days we can do, and the number of visitors we can bring to Hong Kong. Events bring economic contribution to Hong Kong because attendees spend on so many things for so many days.

IBTM’s Vasyl Zhygalo and Hong Kong Tourism Board’s Kenneth Wong
The inaugural Asia-Pacific edition of IBTM will now take place in Hong Kong in spring 2025, following a failed 2020 take-off in Singapore due to the pandemic.
The event is expected to attract more than 1,500 travel trade and business events professionals from Asia-Pacific and beyond, and provide a global business platform for industry players in Hong Kong and China.
IBTM’s Vasyl Zhygalo and Hong Kong Tourism Board’s Kenneth Wong
Pang Yiu-kai, Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) chairman, said in a press statement: “IBTM’s decision to host its inaugural flagship trade show for the Asia-Pacific region in Hong Kong is a strong testament to Hong Kong’s international standing and its unique role as a super-connector of the Greater Bay Area (GBA) by the global MICE industry.
“The event will not only bring more than 1,500 high-yield visitors from the global travel trade and MICE industry to Hong Kong but will also generate positive word-of-mouth with their personal experience. This, in turn, will help bring more MICE events to Hong Kong, creating multiplier effect contributing to the city’s economy.”
Vasyl Zhygalo, IBTM portfolio director, recognises Hong Kong’s “competitive edges, such as its diverse choice of venues, convenient transport facilities, and the provision of comprehensive professional support”.
He added: “Geographically, it is well positioned as a gateway between the world and the Mainland, especially cities in the GBA, which makes the city the ideal host of IBTM Asia Pacific. I am confident that this exhibition will help MICE trade members in different markets establish contacts with each other and explore opportunities in the region.”
To bring the Asia-Pacific flagship to Hong Kong, the HKTB teamed up with the Travel Industry Council of Hong Kong, Hong Kong Hotels Association, Hong Kong Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions, and AsiaWorld-Expo to highlight Hong Kong’s latest tourism updates and growth momentum, showcasing the city’s unique edges with the strong support of China, while being closely connected to the world, as well as the city’s potential in developing multi-destination tourism in GBA.
Singapore Airlines (SIA) and Tourism Australia have signed a new multi-year strategic marketing deal to jointly promote leisure tourism to Australia.
This renewed agreement follows a separate agreement between Tourism Australia and SIA, signed earlier this year, aimed at promoting business events travel to Australia.
The partnership will see Singapore Airlines and Tourism Australia promoting travel to Australia
The three-year agreement will see the two parties provide joint funding to promote travel from a number of key inbound markets including the UK, Germany, Singapore, India and Indonesia. It is an extension of an existing partnership that sees collaboration to promote Australia as a premier tourism destination.
The Singapore Airlines group, including low cost carrier Scoot, currently operates more than 140 services per week from seven Australian cities direct to Singapore.
SIA’s chief commercial officer, Lee Lik Hsin, commented: “This partnership with Tourism Australia will allow us to jointly promote leisure travel through our Singapore hub, further driving traffic from key markets so that our customers can explore the beauty and diversity of Australia in 2024 and beyond.”
Tourism Australia’s managing director, Phillipa Harrison, added: “At this critical time when international travel is continuing to rebuild and return to growth, we are excited about formalising our partnership with Singapore Airlines to urge more travellers to choose Australia for their next holiday.”

The impressive turnout and successful delivery of the 10th International Congress on Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM 2023 Tokyo) in August bore testimony to Japan’s capital being an ideal host city for large-scale conferences.
The quadrennial congress aims to promote the exchange of knowledge in industrial and applied mathematics.
For this year’s edition, themed Industrial and Applied Mathematics for Sustainable Human Development, and hosted in Japan for the first time, about 4,000 delegates attended in-person with another 1,500 participating online.
Kazuko Toda, senior director, Business Events Team, Tokyo Convention & Visitors Bureau (TCVB), told TTGmice: “Tokyo is honoured to welcome ICIAM 2023 Tokyo for the first time at Waseda University, one of Japan’s historical and distinguished universities.”

Tech-powered to offer immersive experiences The hybrid format of the conference, held at Waseda University, was one of its highlights, according to professor Shin’ichi Oishi, congress director, organising committee, ICIAM 2023 Tokyo.
He told TTGmice: “During the Covid outbreak, universities across Japan offered classes online which resulted in advancements of online technologies. The wireless networks were enhanced and ventilation systems were re-enforced several times so that is why we were able to offer a hybrid conference.”
During the mega congress, delegates, both in-person and online, were presented with about 100 parallel sessions of lectures, talks and workshops at any one time. Cutting-edge digital technologies were deployed to ensure immersive experiences, professor Oishi explained.
For those with remote access, for example, 360-degree video-streaming at lecture halls enabled online participants to choose different vantage points as if they were present on-site.
The poster presentation sessions where delegates shared their research with fellow attendees adopted the use of telepresence avatar robots developed by iPresence.
Complete with live streaming, both on-site and online attendees could engage in direct conversations with the poster presenters at the venue with the help of the tele-robots, Christopher’s Chris Francis, president, iPresence, explained to TTGmice.
Besides, the tele-robots could also record a brief video of the presenters on their projects for subsequent replay.
This way, delegates who visited the venue at a later time could enjoy the novel experience of guided tours by the tele-robots that would play the recorded presentations – of their choice – in front of the corresponding posters.
For overseas delegates who require translation, they could also access an online simultaneous multilingual translation and transcription solution using their smartphones via a QR code provided at lecture halls.
According to professor Oishi, TCVB offered substantial financial assistance to alleviate the costs incurred for the technological boost, as well as the organisation of the conference.
Toda added: “TCVB and Tokyo Metropolitan Government (TMG) were happy to provide generous financial and in-kind support while utilising our expertise to ensure the congress is efficiently planned and local resources are optimised.”

At the opening ceremony, the packed crowd at the Okuma Auditorium were introduced to the world of traditional Japanese arts with a classical dance performance by the Kikunokai troupe
The welcome dinner reception was well-received by delegates
To give delegates a taste of Tokyo’s unique sights, TMG and TCVB sponsored complimentary city tours such as the night tour to Tokyo Tower (pictured), Odaiba and Ginza
Event attendees participated in the complimentary cultural experience programmes, including one on furoshiki (traditional art of wrapping using fabric)
Providing rich cultural experiences At the opening ceremony, the packed crowd at the Okuma Auditorium were introduced to the world of traditional Japanese arts with a stunning classical dance performance by the famed Kikunokai troupe.
Previously, its members had choreographed the dance scenes in renowned director Akira Kurosawa’s well-known 1990 film, Dreams.
To give delegates, especially first-time visitors to Japan, a taste of Tokyo’s unique sights and vibrant culture, TMG and TCVB also sponsored complimentary city tours and cultural programmes for delegates.
Event attendees could choose from day tours to visit popular sightseeing hotspots such as the Meiji Jingu Shrine, the new Japan National Stadium, TOKYO SKYTREE®, teamLab Planets TOKYO, Hama-rikyu Gardens and Asakusa; partake in a river cruise; or join the night tour to Tokyo Tower, Odaiba and Ginza.
Cultural experience programmes were centred on furoshiki (traditional art of wrapping using fabric) and origami (traditional art of paper folding).
The response for the tours was overwhelming and the cultural classes were also well-attended.
Associate professor, mathematical physics, Mohammed VI Polytechnic University and University of Hassan II Casablanca, Lahbabi Salma, who found out about the furoshiki session from volunteers at the TCVB booth, had signed up out of curiosity.
She shared: “It was excellent and I liked it because it (furoshiki) is a preservation of culture.”
In line with the congress theme on sustainability, the furoshiki concept was also utilised for the conference bags for delegates, instead of providing them with plastic ones on-site.
An origami crane was chosen as the conference logo to present longevity and sustainability too. For those keen to delve more into this traditional art, a public lecture, The Possibilities of Origami: Art, Mathematics, and Applications in Engineering, by professor Jun Mitani, University of Tsukuba, was also available.

Delivering a fruitful congress Delegates and exhibitors that TTGmice spoke to at ICIAM 2023 Tokyo were excited at being at the much-anticipated congress where they were able to learn more about the latest developments and innovations in applied mathematics, as well as engage with the community meaningfully.
Delegates such as associate professor, department of applied mathematics, Hunan University, Daniel Wu, as well as PhD student in applied mathematics from the Central University of Tamilnadu, Navaneetha Krishnan, attended the international conference because they relished the opportunity to further their knowledge in applied mathematics from exchanges with experts at the conference to keep abreast of the advancements in the field.
Another exhibitor, Elvira Hyvonen, head, European Mathematical Society (EMS) secretariat, looked to recruit more members from the pool of like-minded participants, while Apostolos Damialis, editorial director, EMS Press, felt it was a good opportunity to network with the community and catch up with old contacts.
Additionally, staff at the hospitality desk that TCVB offers also played an integral role in assisting overseas conference attendees with navigating the conference grounds, as well as the city.
Yumi Nakaya, a member of staff at the TCVB’s hospitality desk, told TTGmice: “Most delegates are keen to find out where the interesting food places and sightseeing spots are in Tokyo. When I recommend the complimentary city tours, I always encourage them to promote the city and spread the word when they return home.”
Ideal as host city According to professor Oishi, Tokyo was chosen as the host city because the metropolis was able to cater to the huge scale of the academic congress.
For instance, Japan’s capital could accommodate the large delegate turnout of more than 3,000, as well as extensive conference requirements which include 100 parallel sessions.
“Most of the delegates are visiting Japan for the first time so we thought it would be best for them to visit Tokyo. It is accessible and culturally speaking, it is very diverse and there is much to do and see. Tokyo offers a ‘buffet’ of Japanese culture, ” he reckoned.
Among others, the city has also hosted the 1st International Societies for Investigative Dermatology Meeting, the 24th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education, and the 6th World Trauma Congress.
More international events, such as SIGGRAPH Asia 2024, World Physiotherapy Congress 2025 and the 25th International Federation of Fertility Societies World Congress 2025 are in the pipeline.
Toda added: “Our core values are ‘Sustainability-driven’, ‘High-tech’, and ‘Unique Experience’. ICIAM 2023 will set a prime example of the amazing experiences our city consistently delivers in line with these values, further establishing Tokyo as the world’s best congress destination.”
