About the Backpackers Expo

Backpackers Expo is Australia's original adventure travel and backpacker expo. For over a decade we have been connecting travellers with the people, places and experiences that make a trip truly unforgettable — from the Red Centre and the Great Barrier Reef to working holidays in London and adventures across Asia, Europe, the Americas and the Pacific.

Each year, thousands of local and overseas travellers come to our expos to meet exhibitors who have been there and done that. It's the fun and festive way to find out where to go for the time of your life — the best, friendliest places to stay, what to do, how to get there and how to get jobs.
