Vanuatu Tourism last night staged a roadshow with a difference, by getting more than 100 travel agents together for a quiz night in Sydney to test their knowledge on the popular South Pacific island.
Most of the questions were about the 20 hotels and resorts represented at the roadshow, as well as attractions in Vanuatu with the prize of a free trip to the winner. “It’s the first time in two years that we have brought a roadshow to Australia, and we feel we had to make our presence felt as a unique & exotic destination,” said Linda Kalpoi, General Manager of the Vanuatu Tourism Office. ”Last year, 63,000 Australians visited Vanuatu, so it’s an important market for us,” said Kalpoi. She said the quiz gave the agents the opportunity to learn more about Vanuatu’s unique selling points, and reaffirm that the island is one of the most popular destinations for family holidays and honeymooners. The roadshow rolls on to Melbourne, then Brisbane. Allan Kalfabun, Marketing Manager Vanuatu Tourism |
