Find Your Ultimate Kind of "Out There" in California

Visit California's new consumer marketing campaign urges Australian travellers to discover their ultimate kind of "Out There" 

Whether it's star spotting or star gazing, exploring urban or natural wonders, California is home to all kinds of "out there" for every kind of traveller and Visit California's new campaign aims to showcase just that.

Launching Sunday 3 February, Visit California's "All Kinds Of Out There" campaign will be led by two star-studded TV spots, "Out There" and "Misconceptions". Rob Lowe and Betty White are among the A-List faces starring in the new television advertisements, appearing alongside a diverse array of Californian destinations.

"Visit California is able to capitalise on one of California's key destination drivers - Hollywood and its celebrity culture - to encourage Australian travellers to discover their ultimate kind of 'out there'," said Caroline Beteta, Visit California president and chief executive officer. "From biking across the Golden Gate Bridge to surfing off the Santa Barbara Coast and hiking through the redwoods in Mendocino, we're appealing to the Aussie sense of adventure and inspiring them with new ways to experience California."

The ads feature locations around California from well-known icons like San Diego beaches, Half Dome at Yosemite and the Golden Gate Bridge to more off-the-beaten-path experiences like biking through Joshua Tree National Park, soaking away stress in Mammoth Lakes and braving the wild whitewater of the American River near Sacramento.

Qantas Airlines is a first time partner in this Visit California campaign, providing a strong call to action and deals for travelling to California, as well as extending the reach of the campaign through their commercial channels.

"All Kinds of Out There" is the fourth consumer marketing campaign Visit California has activated in the Australian market since 2010. The continued investment reflects the vital role tourism from the Australian market continues to play in California's travel and tourism industry. Year on year since 2009, Australian visitation has experienced record growth. In 2011, visitation figures peaked at 563,000, holding Australia's number two ranking for California's overseas markets.
 
Visit California's "All Kinds of Out There" campaign will run until the end of March.
