     DELEGATE TOURING
     BOOKING PORTAL
     For delegates visiting South Australia there are so many unique
     experiences and things to see, however it’s not always easy to
     decide what the best options are.
     Adelaide Convention Bureau has created a new and unique online
     booking tool for conference organisers to include on their own
     event website. This allows delegates to book tours and activities
     easily and directly, meaning that organisers can concentrate on
     other aspects of their event.
     Organisers can draw on the data from this portal to better
     understand the behaviour of their delegates. There is scope to
     feature the event logo on the portal’s landing page.
     Adelaide Convention Bureau will also design bespoke tours for
     groups in line with the event organiser’s requirements.
     Adelaide is one of the world’s most walkable cities and has a
     range of cultural, gastronomic and sporting attractions all within
     easy reach of the CBD. Just outside of the city there are world
     famous wine regions, amazing wildlife and breathtaking
     landscapes to explore.

     Instagram pages also offer delegates and organisers a dynamic
     platform to gain information and share their experiences.
