A new million dollar advertising campaign to showcase the NSW South
Coast was launched earlier this week by Minister for Tourism and Major
Events, George Souris.
The campaign highlights the region’s natural beauty and brings the
region’s experiences to life, encouraging visitors to book a short
break.
“The new, million dollar Visit South Coast campaign, will inspire
visitors to explore and rediscover NSW’s amazing South Coast. The
campaign highlights the region’s beautiful beaches, abundance of
wildlife, pristine bushland, crystal clear water and fresh air,”
Minister Souris said.
“The campaign is a great example of the collaborative partnership
between Regional Tourism Organisations and Destination NSW, to develop
innovative and memorable marketing campaigns which celebrate regional
NSW. The campaign includes images of a seal playing in the clear waters
off Montague Island, Eurobodalla with the caption, ‘Just like a puppy –
even has a wet nose’, and a weedy sea dragon with the caption, ‘Meet
dragons that don’t live in castles’.”
Destination NSW CEO, Sandra Chipchase, said this campaign builds on the
success of the 2012 campaign, which resulted in over 16,000 sales leads
to the travel industry from visitors wanting to book a short break to
the region. This campaign sets the benchmark for all regional
stakeholders to work together to create stunning marketing and
advertising material, linked to travel packages, to drive overnight
visitation.
The Chairman of the South Coast Regional Tourism Organisation, Brian
Longbottom, said he was delighted with the Visit South Coast multimedia
marketing campaign.
“It is a bringing together of all the natural beauty and wildlife of the
South Coast and marketing it using a visually stunning and appealing
campaign,” Mr Longbottom said.
The campaign has been jointly funded by Destination NSW and the South
Coast Regional Tourism Organisation, through its participating partners
Wollongong, Shellharbour, Kiama, Shoalhaven, Eurobodalla and Sapphire
Coast.
