Bailey says that V Australia will boost tourism

Sunday, 26 Jul, 2007 0

Tourism Minister Fran Bailey said yesterday the introduction of V Australia across the Pacific route from late 2008 would deliver a much-needed boost to Australian tourism.

She said, “V Australia will deliver a shot in the arm to aviation capacity across the Pacific route.”

“Far too many Americans have missed out on a holiday to Australia due to a lack of capacity on the Pacific route.”

“More capacity and competition is critical to the future success of Australian tourism.”

“American tourism to Australia is already worth $2 billion, and with more capacity on the Pacific route, we can increase this value and create more jobs for Australians.”
