Closing out a year like no other, the Council of Australian Tour Operators (CATO) recently gathered (COVID-safely, of course) at the Travel Industry Hub in North Sydney for its annual Christmas party.
Sponsored by Catalan Tourist Board, the evening included wine and interactive food tasting, showcasing the rich flavours the region is famous for.
The event even included a Catalonian chef to prepare paella for the guests, as well as a live Zoom call with a pair of cocineros (chefs) from their patio in Barcelona.
CATO managing director Brett Jardine said: “It was wonderful to feel that sense of ‘travel’ again, and to deliver a proper Christmas gathering for such a positive group of people who have really had a difficult 2020.”
