Television viewers appear to be turning away from travel with news that prime time mainstay, Getaway, has been shifted from 7.30pm Thursday to Saturday afternoons. The popular show has been screening for 20 years and, while Channel Nine is saying nothing about what they are calling a short-term shift, in the hard-headed world of television, falling viewer numbers could be the only reason. The Daily Telegraph reports that a one-week change has already become five. As they say in TV land, more news when it comes to hand.

No Surprise. Channel 9 have lost the plot, Getaway changed many years ago from showcasing destinations to showcasing their presenters own profiles whilst having a free holiday. Stopped watching Getaway years ago and now watch some great travel shows on foxtel.

- Sydney, November, 2020 -

Work is under way on Short Term Thinking, the first Australian event focused on short stay accommodation.

It will be an action-packed day where all sectors of the industry can meet, learn and network, setting up their year ahead with new relationships, contacts and prospects.

Space has been blocked for mid-November in Sydney with scope to move if circumstances dictate.

While a lot can change between then and now, we're confident we'll be able to run a flesh and blood event with live streaming for those who can't make it.

Because final capacity is understandably uncertain at this point, please register your interest to be put on a non-obligatory wait list and also receive the latest updates.

At the moment we're looking for foundation partners - please call event producer Martin Kelly on 0414 774 978 to find out more.
