I thank the member for Perth for his question, I think. There is more great news for Perth as an emerging tourist destination. The member for Perth was referring to the latest edition of the Lonely Planet Bluelist: The Best in Travel 2007 that has just been released. This is an annual commentary from the world’s most popular travel publication on what is new, what is hot and what is happening in travel globally. It looks at emerging cities that are set to stand on the world stage in the year ahead. The great news - I am sure members of this house will be very pleased - is that Perth has been listed as one of the 10 cities on the rise globally. Lonely Planet Bluelist: The Best in Travel 2007 reveals what is hot in travel in 2007 - Several members interjected. Ms S.M. McHALE : When members opposite get good news, they are all doom and gloom! This is great news! Perth, Western Australia has been listed as one of the 10 cities globally that is hot for travel in 2007. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Order! I call to order the member for Nedlands and the member for South Perth. Ms S.M. McHALE : Lonely Planet Bluelist: The Best in Travel 2007 reveals what is hot in travel in 2007, including the best journeys, the hippest travel trends, the quirky and unique experiences and the coolest emerging destinations. Perth stands alongside Dubai, Belfast, Wellington, Chongqing in China and Luang Prabang in Laos as one of the 10 cities on the rise globally. This confirms that our efforts to build Perth’s reputation internationally are working. As I have spoken about previously, earlier this year Western Australia featured in the Lonely Planet flagship television series Six Degrees . That program attracted an audience of 40 million people around the word. This emerging reputation of Perth has not come about by chance. It has come about because of the efforts of this government to raise Perth’s international profile through marketing and events. Clearly those efforts are paying off. Before I conclude I will inform the house of the sensational summer events calendar for Perth. Perth has just hosted the Red Bull Air Race, the World Cup Ultimate Championship and the Audi Etchells Worlds 2006. Next week, Perth will host the Ironman WA Triathlon in Busselton. In December, Perth will become cricket city with the third Ashes test. In January, Perth will host the Hyundai Hopman Cup. In March, Perth will host 15 000 east coast and regional visitors for the Australian Surf Life Saving Championships. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Order! I call the member for Cottesloe to order for the third time. Mr J.N. Hyde interjected. The SPEAKER : Order! I call the member for Perth to order for the first time. Ms S.M. McHALE : This is good news. However, all the opposition can do, once again, is demonstrate its mean-spirited approach to development in this state. Tourism in this state is going well under this government. We are committed to making Perth and Western Australia - Several members interjected. Ms S.M. McHALE : We are working with the industry, not mocking it.

Before I conclude I will inform the house of the sensational summer events calendar for Perth. Perth has just hosted the Red Bull Air Race, the World Cup Ultimate Championship and the Audi Etchells Worlds 2006. Next week, Perth will host the Ironman WA Triathlon in Busselton. In December, Perth will become cricket city with the third Ashes test. In January, Perth will host the Hyundai Hopman Cup. In March, Perth will host 15 000 east coast and regional visitors for the Australian Surf Life Saving Championships. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Order!
