competitive and fast-changing global tourism
environment.
70. Campaign focus
In response to the growing demand globally for food and wine
as part of the travel experience, in 2014-15 the campaign put
the spotlight on Australia’s finest array of produce served in the
most stunning locations in the world.
Since Restaurant Australia launched in May 2014 with a rally
cry to the Australian tourism industry, Tourism Australia has
been showcasing the breadth and depth of Australia’s culinary
experiences to international markets.
The campaign has focused on Australia's strengths in food and
wine during 2016, as well as placing a renewed focus on its
world class aquatic and coastal experiences – both major
decision making factors in Australia's key international tourism
markets.
71. To Reinvigorate the world class
aquatic and coastal experiences
Two out of three international visitors enjoy the
aquatic or coastal environments in some way – from scuba
diving to simply going to the beach. From early 2016,
Tourism Australia’s There’s Nothing Like Australia campaign
has focused on Australia’s aquatic and coastal offering with
multi-platform marketing activities rolled out across all the
key international markets.
72. A continuation of food and wine
messaging
The launch of Restaurant Australia has been well
received by consumers and campaign partners and, given the
wealth of campaign and content support materials now
available, Tourism Australia will continue to build on Australia’s
food and wine credentials. In-market campaign activity has
used successful promotional concepts such as pop-up
restaurants including bringing Noma to Australia, as well as a
variety of media and consumer events.
73. No Leave, No Life
The No Leave, No Life program gives access to easy
to use tools that enable you to achieve real outcomes.
Outcomes that benefit everyone involved – not only
having a positive impact on profitability, but also on employee
wellbeing and family life.
74. To Promote high-impact events
To take advantage of this opportunity Tourism Australia
increasingly work in partnership with the events sector,
government, travel distribution and affinity partners to grow
Australia’s reputation as an attractive destination for events.
Increased marketing support be provided to high-
impact events that generate significant immediate and long-
term yield benefits.
