In early February 2012 I attended the Travel Expo at the Brisbane Convention Centre. The Expo, which has free entry, is travelling all around the country and there are still many locations where is will be appearing.

| Hot deals everywhere! |
The expo was well set up and everyone was given a free calico bag for you to put in all the information you will more than likely accumulate.
There were over 80 companies - varying from destination to airlines to cruiselines to tour companies - displaying their wares (changes according to the location) and dozens of 'Expo Experts', visible by their T-shirts on hand to help you with any queries you might have (seriously, they were everywhere!).

Free presentations are on offer and, in a nice piece of innovation, the theatrettes in which they are held are two large, new tour buses from Murrays. The person presenting the lecture stands at the front of the bus, just like a real tour guide, and uses the on board microphone to speak. Because the buses are indoors, the bus' air conditioning can't be used to keep everyone cool, so the front door, double back doors and roof skylights/vents are opened. The lectures last half an hour and, combined with the convention centre air con, it remains quite comfortable (I went to one that was full and it was fine).
