Travel operators and stars at G'day USA: Australia Week
Indigenous tourism ventures will for the first time showcase their wares at one of America's biggest trade conferences.

Eleven operators nationwide, including two from the Northern Territory, will feature at this month's highly-successful annual G'day USA: Australia Week.

The festival, now entering its sixth year, promotes Australian culture, food, fashion, film, trade and tourism.

It will run in San Francisco, Los Angeles and New York from January 13 to 24.

Baz Luhrmann, Eric Bana, Rachel Griffiths and tennis legend Rod Laver will be honoured at the event but Australia's A-listers could be upstaged by the Indigenous Tourism Roadshow.

Americans will be asked to "Come Walkabout", with a range of holidays on offer from basket weaving, to bush tucker walks and nature trails.

The ventures are part of a new government focus on Aboriginal people starting their own businesses, creating sustainable jobs for their families and young people.

"This is the first time indigenous tourism operators have had the opportunity to promote their products at G'Day USA Australia Week," said NT Tourism Minister Kon Vatskalis.

Farewelling the operators of Batji Tours and Kakadu Culture Camp at Darwin airport yesterday, Mr Vatskalis said 80 indigenous tourism ventures were now up and running in the NT.

"I want to promote the extensive range of NT tourism products featured in their travel promotions to ensure North Americans include the NT in their holiday plans," he said.

The festival will feature 25 Australian flavoured events across the three US cities, including financial seminars, a golf day hosted by British Open champion Ian Baker Finch and food displays by celebrity chefs.

Jimmy Barnes and Gabriella Cilmi will also perform at New York's famed Carnegie Hall and the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra at LA's Royce Hall.
