Tassie tourism scholarship TOURISM Industry Council
Tasmania and Skal International Club of Hobart have united to create the Tasmanian Tourism Future Leaders’ Scholarship.
Launched yesterday, the new scholarship is pitched at tourism professionals (or in a related industry) under the age of 35 and is “designed to encourage and foster innovation, leadership and professional development”.
The initiative will see the successful applicant receive financial assistance to the tune of $10,000 to undertake an interstate or international study tour anywhere in the world, for up to four weeks.
Having built their knowledge & experience in a different market, the scholarship winner will then apply their knowledge with
Tasmanian industry colleagues.“It could be travelling to Alaska
to study remote wilderness tourism, or New Zealand to study wine tourism, or Europe to study the youth market...the ideas are truly limitless,” the TICT said.
Applications are open until 07 Sep with the successful recipient to be named in Nov at the 2016 Tasmanian Tourism Awards Gala.

ATAS partners with GoogleTHE AFTA Travel Accreditation
Scheme (ATAS) is currently being promoted to a digital audience via a direct partnership with Google, which is targeting and intercepting consumers when they are researching and planning their next trip.
Speaking at the Travel Industry Exhibition in Melbourne yesterday, AFTA marketing manager Jo Tralaggan gave an update on the program which has resulted in strong awareness of ATAS across the community.
More than 90% of travel agents in Australia are now ATAS accredited, with the most recent research indicating almost a quarter of the general population is aware of the scheme.
Tralaggan said the figures also indicate that 3 out of 4 travellers will choose to book with an ATAS travel agent over a non-accredited agent.
“Consumers look to travel agents for insight, convenience, peace of mind, and the ATAS symbol gives enormous confidence when booking travel,” she added.
The digital campaign with Google follows previous promotions in which AFTA has employed a mixture of traditional and non-traditional marketing strategies to educate consumers about ATAS.
These have included a national radio campaign, print marketing, TV promotions in the Sydney metro and Adelaide markets, and a regional TV campaign across the WIN network which reached more than 3.5 million consumers.
The next phase of the successful TV campaign will see it extended to Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth in Sep this year, Tralaggan said.

VA agent portal enhancementVIRGIN Australia has revealed
upgrades to its agency website as part of the airline’s commitment to “continually improve how we engage with trade partners”.
The revamped portal, set to go live on Fri, has greater usability than the current version.
Key features of the site include an updated user interface, void booking functionality, split booking functionality, multi city support, payment by gift card and four new Point of Sales currencies - Samoan Tala (WST), Solomon Island dollars (SBD), Fijian dollars (FJD) and Tongan pa-anga (TOP).
VA said existing travel agents currently using the agency portal will not need to take any action when the platform goes live.
MEANWHILE, Virgin Australia has introduced Year Round VA/EY Published fares for sale from Fiji to the UK and Europe, operating via Australia and Abu Dhabi.
The move enables trade partners to offer fares from Fiji to over 50 destinations in the United Kingdom and Europe.
Fares are available in Economy
(in booking classes S, T, Q, V, N, E, L, K, H , B & Y), Premium Economy (classes O & W) and Business (classes I, D, C & J), available on a one way or return basis.

QF ditch SYD/HVBQANTASLINK has confirmed
it will abandon flights between Sydney and Hervey Bay, with the service to end on 07 Aug.
The Qantas Group’s regional offshoot launched the Hervey Bay service 26 months ago, operating twice weekly frequencies to the Fraser Coast airport.
“Unfortunately we just aren’t seeing enough people book on the flights; this is despite our hard work over the past two years to promote the service, as well as deploying smaller aircraft on the route to better match capacity demand,” a spokesperson for QantasLink told Travel Daily.
The carrier said it remains committed to Hervey Bay and will continue to offer four daily return services to HVB from Brisbane.
Pax with prebooked flights on the axed SYD/HVB service have been reaccommodated on flights via Brisbane or they can obtain a full refund.
Last week, QFLink revealed it was shelving its weekly Melbourne-Coffs Harbour direct service effective early Aug for the same reason (TD yesterday).
MEANWHILE, Tigerair Australia told Travel Daily travel agents can continue to book with confidence on its non-stop Melbourne-Coffs Harbour route.
TT launched the MEL/CFS in Dec last year, operating to the Coffs Coast hub four times weekly, complementing its thrice weekly services ex Sydney.

IT’S the stuff of European backpackers’ nightmares: their campervan being invaded by Aussie spiders the size of dinner plates!
The incident which occurred west of Cairns last week saw two French backpackers flag down police for help.
Police confirmed it was just one spider that had “invaded” their van.
On a request from one of the tourists to shoot the spider the police responded their aim was good - but not that good.

its push for further overseas visitation, announcing it has created a role for Commissioner for International Engagement.
ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr said the govt has pursued a strong int’l engagement effort over the past three years.
“This has lead to a rapid increase in exports, growth in the ACT’s tertiary education sector, increased foreign investment and an increase in internationalisation visitation to Canberra,” he said.
Barr also added Canberra was keen to entice a low-cost carrier such as Tigerair to relaunch flights on the Melbourne route, saying it would provide a “significant boost” in tourism expenditure.

Tuesday 12th Jul 2016 TO THE victory goes the spoils, or is it that the victory is indeed spoilt!
After a long week and a bit at least we all now know that Malcolm Turnbull is the Prime Minster and at the time of
writing this column with 81.1% of the vote counted, the coalition has the required 76 seats in the lower house of
parliament to form a majority government. This means that the coalition has enough seats in their own right to
have a majority in the house and put in place a “Speaker of the House”, meaning that cross bench or independents are not required in order for the coalition to hold the authority to govern.
Labor has done an awesome job in this election with a result that looks set to be 69 seats, which is a fantastic effort in gaining so many lower house seats. There is now a “thin red line” in the parliament, and if any of the coalition politicians behave like we have had many of them behave in the past, then the government could fall to the support of the independents in a heartbeat.
We are set for interesting times ahead as this 45th Parliament and let’s hope that at least we will see some grunt and confidence return to the Australian people, now that this is behind us.
Of course, the matter of the Senate outcome will be the gear shift change that the media will now focus on while we wait to find out who is in and who is not and what the hell those that are to be in actually stand for. While the Turnbull government will have a majority in the lower house, albeit wafer thin, the real contest will be in the upper house, the Senate to see how the major parties sit in the context of the independent and minor parties that have been forged during this election debacle.
Most important for the travel and tourism industry is what will this all means for us and it is still a little early to know, as the coalition did not release a tourism policy prior to the election of any substance and as such we are yet to find out what plan if any they have for our industries.
AFTA along with our fellow industry associations will be making good speed to reconnect with the new government to establish what they have in mind and learn of any plans they have which may be of benefit to the industry.
Curiously, Labor had a good plan that was articulated in a solid policy and so perhaps something can be drawn from that as I would hate to think that travel and tourism became an industry that did not have the full and honest bipartisan support of both the major parties, and for that matter, the new minority parties that have developed during this election. Interesting times ahead for sure for all Australians.
A final short note, this weekend will celebrate the NTIA 2016 and to all those attending and to all the finalists I wish you a safe and exciting evening on Saturday night, we are in for one of our best ever!

Announcing the rejig at the Farnborough Airshow; Boeing commercial Airplanes svp global sales and marketing, John Wojick said “our customers voted and they wanted an aircraft with more range and seat count than the 737-700NG, so we are officially increasing the size of that airplane by two seat rows”.
