Australia Loves Bloggers, Invites Them Down Under

Where: Australia
April 10, 2009 at 9:56 AM | by | Comments (2)

While we've been busy musing on whether or not we'd go to that far away land of Australia, the gang down at Tourism Australia have been figuring out yet another strategy to convince us. And it's one we're pretty in tune with: blogging.

Tourism Australia has just started inviting influential bloggers from various nations to visit Oz and (presumably) blog up a storm about it. They've got a bunch of super-fashionable fashion bloggers lined up right now, including New York's The Sartorialist and Julia Knole from Germany's Les Mads, and even one of the most popular Chinese bloggers, Yibo Fan.

Presumably the tourism board is hoping treating these bloggers like royalty will lead to enthusiastic promotion of Australia as a destination. Here at Jaunted we've got it the wrong way round: we've been doing the enthusiastic promos already, because we love the place. Can we have a free trip too?

Squeaky Wheel

You seem to understand that it's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease. Since you already like Australia, you don't need to be "fixed." Thus, the smart take would be to rant and rail against every destination until convinced that it's worthy of your praise. I'll start: Hey St. Bart's! You suck! But I could probably be convinced otherwise, if someone cared enough to show me the light.

Hmm...

Does Tourism Australia not realize what a mover and shaker I am? What I jump, the blogosphere trembles.
