Tourism Australia on 21 April 2022 announced the launch of its ‘Discover A Great Deal More’ virtual travel fair, the third edition of its highly anticipated travel sale that gives travellers in Singapore an opportunity to grab attractive deals on holidays to Australia.
Till 15 May 2022, travellers will be able to browse offers on flights, hotels, tour packages, car rentals and exciting experiences in Australia, with a travel validity of up to March 2023.
The announcement comes on the back of Tourism Australia’s ongoing ‘Yours to Explore’ campaign, which aims to remind travellers of all the incredible experiences and destinations that await them in Australia for their next holiday, and invite them to return and rediscover its landscapes.
As part of the online fair, Tourism Australia has tied up with five major airlines – Singapore Airlines, Qantas, Scoot, Jetstar and Malaysia Airlines to offer return airfares starting from just S$478.
Additionally, tourism products ranging from hotels and car rental agencies to adventure and leisure experiences have come on board to extend exciting discounts – such as up to 20% off car rentals, 15% off hotels and S$20 off Australia experiences – which could be availed online through travel partners including CheapTickets.sg, Klook, Pelago, and Hertz.
Exciting tour packages at up to S$800 off per couple will be available online, offline and via telephone through leading travel agents like Chan Brothers Travel, UOB Travel and more.
Commenting on the travel fair, Mr. Brent Anderson, Regional General Manager of South & South East Asia, Tourism Australia, said: “Since reopening our doors, we have seen an incredible surge of demand from Singapore travellers, for whom Australia has always been a familiar and beloved destination. While the things they love about Australia have remained the same, namely our wide open spaces and welcoming people, in recent years everything from our food to accommodation has had an exciting and creative new makeover. We are proud to collaborate with our longstanding partners and the Australian tourism industry to bring both iconic and fresh experiences to travellers and re-introduce them to the amazing diversity of Australia.”
The “Discover A Great Deal More” fair will be promoted across out-of-home, radio, online and social media activations, and amplified via partnerships with airlines, online travel agents, State and Territory Tourism Organisations and key distribution partners in the Singapore market.
