I refer to the ‘Experience Extraordinary’ campaign launched in February 2010, and I ask -
(1) Does Tourism WA intend value adding to this campaign strategy by promoting local tourism operations in regional areas?
(2) If yes to (2), how is this being carried out?
(3) Does this include entering into third party arrangements with tourism operators to bring tourists to Western Australia?

(1) Yes.
(2) Regional travel products are being promoted online via the Extraordinary Taxi Ride campaign website, extraordinarytaxiride.com.au; on Tourism Western Australia's consumer website, westernaustralia.com; and on Regional Tourism Organisation (RTO) websites as part of Tourism WA's partnership with the RTOs.  Press advertisements featuring regional product offers are also being placed in the Perth, NSW and Victorian markets.
(3) Tourism Western Australia works with a range of distribution partners, many of which have contract agreements with WA suppliers (third parties) to include their tourism product in programs promoting leisure travel to the State.  While many of these products make up the "travel deals" in Tourism Western Australia's cooperative campaigns, these are strictly commercial arrangements between the campaign partner (wholesaler, airline, retail travel agent chain or inbound tour operator) and the product supplier.
