But if you really want that bonafide Expo attendee badge, there are some things you must do during your time at the free event. From entering a dream holiday prize draw to hearing tips from special guests and getting the low-down on when to book from real-life travel experts, here are 12 must-do things at October’s World Travel Expo Including Cruise.

1. First, get yourself to the Expo by getting your free ticket.

This one’s a no brainer. You’ve got to be in it to win it. And win you could! Just by attending, you’ll go in the draw to win one of four dream holidays. The lucky winner will choose from a North American Topdeck adventure, an APT river cruise, a Back-Roads UK tour or a Mediterranean Cruise thanks to Norwegian Cruise Line. Head to www.travelexpo.net.au to get yours.

2. Collect a bag and head on in!

You’ll be handed a tote bag at the door — the perfect place to keep all your new brochures deals flyers and travel inspiration.

Cruise mad? Then this is the place to make your cruise dreams come true. Check out the best world cruises from experts with the most nights at sea.  

4. Find out what the real difference is between river cruise and ocean cruise. 

There’s clearly one major difference but you can compare the pros of both (only unpack once, all-inclusive, multiple destinations and more) and then book right there and then.

5. Enter all the competitions. 

Aside from the major prize draw for attending, you can scan your ticket and win a share of $75,000* in Expo Rewards plus you could also win a plethora of amazing travel prizes and discounts.  

6. Book a Europe (or anywhere) tour. 

Want to see multiple destinations with ease and convenience of just booking once? Head to the host of specialist tour exhibitors at Expo to lock yours in.   

7. Sit in the theatrette to see the best operators in the business.

From tour companies to all the major cruise lines and a raft of other travel companies, the free presentations are a must-see for insights and advice on all things travel.   

8. Hit the main stage.

Hear presentations and inspirational stories from a cast of exciting travel-industry insiders like Jason Edwards, an award-winning National Geographic photographer (Brisbane, Sydney & Melbourne), Lauren from Adelady, Callum (Masterchef runner up) & Themis from Sprout (Adelaide) or Stephen Scourfield, Travel Editor of the West Australian (Perth)

9. Figure out how to quit your job and book a life-changing Europe 2020 holiday. 

Hint: it involves 12 months interest-free so you can book now, and pay later. 

10. Get access to exclusive, event-only specials, perks and deals.

Get your hands-on special pricing and itineraries you can only book on the day at each of the Expos. 

11. Meet a real-life Travel Expert and get the inside scoop on where to go, when to book and when to travel.
