AUSTRALIA can hardly contain its excitement at being the chosen destination for the Tupperware Indonesia Manager Incentive Trip 2015, and will welcome more than 4,000 delegates to the city of Melbourne.
Tupperware Indonesia’s top sales managers, team leaders and distributors will arrive in stages over February and March to enjoy a four-day programme. Some A$19 million (US$14.8 million) will be generated from this mega incentive.
To secure the bid, the Melbourne Convention Bureau (MCB) joined hands with City of Melbourne and Tourism Australia to offer the Indonesian delegation a seamless, customised visa application process between travel agency Wita Tour and the Australian embassy.
The CVB also played middleman between the Indonesians and airlines. Besides that, it drew up an itinerary for the delegation, which comprises mostly women between the ages of 30 and 50, who enjoy shopping and sightseeing.
Tupperware Indonesia sales support manager, Agus Mustapa, said in a statement: “Melbourne was the clear standout. Aside from the endless attractions, thriving shopping culture, ease of access to regional areas, and reputation as a safe and friendly city, it also has the infrastructure necessary to accommodate large groups – great hotels, entertainment and attractions, and all in a city that is easy to get to, and easy to get around.”
