In 2021 our business events industry suffered greater threats than ever before. A global pandemic, indefinite closure of borders, reluctance to vaccinate, and the elimination of government support whilst we await a plan to re open our country to tourism.

Throughout the crisis, the confusion and the indecision, our industry, comprising remarkable individuals amongst the best in the world remains resilient, determined and optimistic. 

Society for Incentive Travel Excellence (SITE) is the single largest global organisation dedicated to the development and delivery of professional excellence in incentive travel. Numbering some 3,000 members from 90 countries and 30 chapters globally, there is no more impactful organisation in the business event arena. With a focus on research, accreditation, education, CSR, sustainability, and networking, SITE is primed to lead our industry into the future beyond this current pandemic.

SITE Australia & New Zealand (ANZ) is representative of the best of our industry. Our best practitioners, our best suppliers, our best supporting services including marketing agencies and highly respected business event bureaus - each with a laser focus on delivering valuable, high yield, incentive travel. Only months prior to the shutdown, the global incentive travel industry was valued at almost $A100,000,000.

SITE ANZ works with our global network to not only restore and recover our business but to fortify our sector for the future.

You are invited to join SITE ANZ as a member, or in partnership, to secure the future and further develop our prized incentive travel industry.

Our ANZ chapter proudly welcomes the entire incentive industry supply chain - including corporations, incentive travel and marketing agencies, event planners, hoteliers, airlines, destination management companies, cruise companies, venue professionals, industry partners, tourism and business event bureaus and students as part of the SITE Australia & New Zealand community - a dynamic and inclusive group valuing innovative and relevant education, engaging networking opportunities and the exchange of inspiring business ideas.
