Tourism Australia has launched a travel campaign, with key partners, to provide Indian travellers with the opportunity to explore attractive deals on holidays to Australia, for a limited period. As part of the campaign, Tourism Australia has partnered with five major airlines including Singapore Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Air India, Sri Lankan Airlines and Thai Airways to offer all-inclusive, return economy-class airfares to Australia.
The sale is valid until 28 February 2023 with a travel validity of up to 31 December 2023 and will be further amplified by Tourism Australia’s key distribution partners and Aussie Specialist agents. Three key accommodation providers including TFE hotels, The Ovolo Group and Hyatt Centric have also joined this campaign to offer special deals for Indian travellers.
Commenting on the sale, Nishant Kashikar, Country Manager, India and Gulf, Tourism Australia said, “Australia remains an incredibly desirable destination for visitors from India and we are always exploring avenues to keep offering great value on Australian holiday experiences to our Indian travellers."
Ranked the third largest source market for Australia, India is expected to be the first market to recover to 2019 levels. Arrivals out of India since the reopening of Indian skies for scheduled international commercial airlines i.e., for the period April to November 2022 were at 88 per cent of 2019 levels, on the back of close to the tripling of direct aviation connectivity on the India – Australia route.
The Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation has announced that nine ski resorts in Russia will receive 31.8 billion rubles in support as part of the "Tourism and Hospitality Industry" national project. These funds can be invested in infrastructure development
