Linkd Tourism has marked its 40th birthday with a glittering celebration in Sydney.

The event brought together more than 100 of Australia’s key media and travel trade partners to mark four decades of connecting Australian and New Zealand travellers with destinations and brands around the world.

“Forty years ago, APTMS – today’s Linkd Tourism – set out to connect Australian and New Zealand travellers with the world’s best destinations and travel brands,” said Kylee Kay, Managing Director of Linkd Tourism.

“Today we are a full-service tourism agency, delivering PR, marketing, social, influencer and trade programs for some of the world’s most loved destinations and brands, from Hong Kong to Colorado and Okinawa.

“Last night’s event acknowledges our essential media and trade partners who have helped write that story.

“The way Australians plan travel is changing fast, but the way that Linkd operates will never change – with integrity, commitment and a culture of excellence – and fun injected at every step.”

The celebration was supported by Linkd’s partners, including the Colorado Tourism Office, Aqua Aston Hospitality, Travel Portland and Visit Seattle.

“For 40 years our relationships have been the foundation of everything we do and last night was as much a thank you to them as it is a celebration of Linkd and our client partners.” Added Ms Kay.
