50 Degrees North has completed its 2026 Nordic Roadshow, which brought seven regional partners to Australia to meet with local travel industry professionals. The tour featured sessions in Brisbane, Adelaide and Melbourne, drawing more than 300 travel advisors.
Why it matters

The roadshow hosted 300 travel advisors across five sessions featuring seven partners from Norway, Finland and Iceland. Attendees vied for 35 prizes and three $5,000 travel vouchers awarded during the tour.
