Quotes
The journey is more important than the destination because there's so much more in between. - Bill King, [|Bill King remembers his years as a tourism operator] - [|@ABCBushTele]

Australia’s tourism future will be stronger if we fully recognise and capitalise on our fundamental tourism assets. We have a unique Indigenous culture – the oldest continuous Indigenous culture on the planet; distinctive landscapes, flora and fauna; sophisticated cities and regions that integrate a Western heritage with eastern cultures, and a reputation for diverse, interesting and friendly people. - National Long-term Tourism Strategy: Industry Priorities for the Australian Government

[|The two lives of One Pound Jimmy] The real Gwoja Tjungarrayi lived in a world utterly different from the one invented for him by the tourism trade. The program explores the parallel lives of One Pound Jimmy and Gwoja Tjungarrayi with historians, artists and curators, and examines the way that particular image has affected subsequent mainstream representations of Aboriginality, even the way Aboriginal people see themselves.

Tourism Queensland hailed it as the most successful tourism campaign ever, a $2.5 million strategy that returned $390 million in global publicity. But the Brisbane Times sayst the campaign has failed to lure foreigners: [|'Best Job' campaign a tourism lemon]
 * What are you reading?**

My question - How do we measure a tourism campaign? Is it solely by selling tickets or could it also be measured by an increase in requests for info? Personally, I thought the campaign as campaign was flat. If the winner finds that he's falling asleep on his laptop, what do you think happened to the rest of us? This campaign made everyone a bit sleepy. Once people were kicked out of the nomination phase, they lost interest. Mind you, it's my kind of mind candy, but I'd much prefer an investment in locally-produced Flickr galleries and YouTube videos. Less campaigns and more commitments! Queensland, where are you?
