A taste of Texas came to Sydney this week, with the folks from Visit Dallas and Visit Forth Worth holding an event in Sydney last night [Wednesday 1 May, 2019] to showcase Tex-Mex fare, tequilas, guacamole amid an update of the latest happenings in the Metroplex.

Hyatt Hotels Corporation has added a second Miraval spa and wellness brand, with the debut of Miraval Austin. Set on 90 hectares of picturesque land overlooking Lake Travis, Miraval Austin joins the brand’s flagship property in Tucson, Arizona.

Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport has insisted Washington approve a bid by Qantas and American Airlines to expand and strengthen their existing codeshare arrangement, saying failure to do so will be “injurious” to those airlines, consumers and competition.

The group were lucky enough to visit five cities and regions across the state and enjoyed an array of authentic American experiences. They cheered on the Texas Rangers as they took on the Boston Red Sox in Dallas and discovered firsthand why Austin is known as the “Live Music Capital of the World”.

Over 70 travel agents attended and put their destination expertise to the test, safe in the knowledge that it’s easier than ever for Aussies to visit Texas, with the recent launch of United Airlines’ new direct service between Sydney and Houston.
