Visit USA Australia, in partnership with Brand USA, hosted its annual Thanksgiving breakfast in Sydney last Thursday morning in celebration of one of America’s most treasured traditions.
This event is a highlight on the Visit USA calendar and offers a meaningful opportunity to celebrate community and the importance of gratitude.
Caroline Davidson, President of Visit USA Australia, welcomed guests by expressing gratitude to the Visit USA Committee, members, media and trade partners for their continued support in promoting travel to the US to ensure outbound bookings remain strong.
“As we gather to celebrate Thanksgiving, we’re reminded how deeply this tradition is woven into the heart of America. It’s a day to pause, to give thanks for what we have and to cherish the sense of togetherness that defines this special day,” she said.
“We’re thrilled to be able to gather and celebrate with all of our industry partners and supporters who work so tirelessly alongside us to continue inspiring Australian travellers to travel to the US.”
