⚽ Things are getting serious in Seattle!

⚽The Socceroos won their opening FIFA World Cup group match against Türkiye on Sunday, and now the action moves to Seattle for the Australia v USA game (being telecast live here on Saturday morning at 5am AEST).

⚽There are hundreds of Aussie fans following the team in North America and they’re going to have an AMAZING time in Seattle, where the crowd will be one of the loudest of the tournament.

⚽ Here’s hoping everyone also has time to check out Linkd Tourism partner Visit Seattle’s best attractions, from the Space Needle, where a drone show lights up the sky with the final scores for every game, to the incredible local seafood and craft beer.

⚽GO SOCCEROOS!

We loved sharing I LOVE NEW YORK with you, Travel Without Limits and Julie Jones ❤️🌭

One of the best things about publishing a magazine that focuses on travel experiences outside of the "mainstream" is getting to put the spotlight on destinations that up-end your expectations.

What an incredible week at IPW 2026 in Fort Lauderdale! 🇺🇸✨

The Linkd Tourism team had the privilege of representing our exceptional U.S. travel partners at the world's leading inbound travel trade show - connecting, collaborating and doing what we love most: building meaningful relationships.

On behalf of our partners, we were proud to represent:

🗽Louise Terry – I LOVE NEW YORK
⛰️ Toni Fan – Visit Colorado
🌲Sally Miles – Travel Portland
🌺Mel Newton – Aqua-Aston Hospitality

IPW is where relationships are built and business gets done. Our focus was exactly where it should be: sitting down face-to-face with key trade and media partners across the Australia and New Zealand markets, having meaningful conversations, and laying the groundwork for exciting future travel experiences to the USA.

To every AU & NZ trade and media partner who made time for us this week - thank you. Your passion for these incredible destinations is what drives us.

🌈You might notice some colourful changes to our socials in June.

🌈That's because June is Pride month - and Linkd Tourism is here for it.

🌈Here to commemorate, here to celebrate, and here to be visible.

🌈Visible as members of our team active in the LGBTQI+ community, visible through travel sector partnerships to uplift and empower that same community, and visible as allies, every day.

🌈"Celebrating Pride is to celebrate freedom. Freedom to just be. Pride month to me celebrates all those that have loved and come before that fought the great fight for equality and recognition...to just be." Kylee Kay
