“It’s incredibly encouraging to see that the Australian public and corporate community really want to see Tropfest return,” said Polson.
More than one-and-a-half million people have attended a Tropfest event since it was established in 1993, and the festival attracts a live national audience of upwards of 150,000, with as hundreds of thousands more watching the live TV broadcast.
