From the managing editor
WELCOME to our November-December issue, which for the first time includes a hard copy version of the popular Business Class Airline Guide previously produced online by Travel Daily. Many agents have told us how they regularly use our airline guides when talking to clients, and we hope that the new print format with travelBulletin makes them even more useful – keep your eye out for Economy, Premium Economy and First Class guides in upcoming issues of the magazine.
Meanwhile, the expansion of the marketing partnership between Tourism Australia and Virgin Australia announced this month has seen VA become the tourism body’s largest airline partner.
Virgin Australia will provide targeted support for Tourism Australia’s business events and international media hosting programs, as well as Australian Tourism Exchange in 2015 – in the process exposing its product to a carefully targeted group of highly influential international media and travel product buyers.
While great news for Australian tourism, the Virgin deal also underlines the longstanding impasse between Qantas and Tourism Australia (TA) which must surely be seen as an ongoing embarrassment and a lost opportunity for the national carrier.
Two years ago Qantas CEO Alan Joyce pulled the plug on QF’s 40-year-long relationship with Tourism Australia, citing a conflict of interest by his former mentor and TA chairman Geoff Dixon, who was part of an investor consortium agitating to change the airline’s direction.
At the time Qantas said it would redirect the money it was spending on tourism marketing with Tourism Australia to the various state tourism organisations – again great news for the industry, but also creating a confusing message when contrasted with TA’s calls for the sector to speak with a single voice when marketing Australia.
To observers overseas the continuation of the bitter feud between Qantas and Tourism Australia is looking more and more like a petulant dummy spit which has opened up opportunities that QF’s competitors must have previously only dreamed of.
Tourism Australia now has an array of airline partners, including all three of Virgin Australia’s major foreign carrier shareholders in the form of Singapore Airlines, Air New Zealand and Etihad.
The Dixon consortium has long since walked away from its aspirations to control the carrier, but there appears to be no shift in the QF position which looks increasingly like a self-destructive own goal.

There are plenty of little islands around the world, but where is this beauty located? If you have any idea, send your answer to [email protected] and go in the draw to WIN your very own travel guidebook, courtesy of Marco Polo Travel Publishing.
Each guidebook features full colour maps, insider tips on how to get off the beaten track, and recommendations on how to make the most of each destination.
> WIN A GUIDEBOOK! Funnies FlashbackWhere were you on 06 December 1999? We took a trip down memory lane and uncovered this gem from that day in the Travel Daily Window Seat archives:
A PET STORE owner from Barbados was arrested at Miami International Airport after customs offi cers found 55 tortoises stuffed in his pants. Rodney Carrington initially said he had nothing to declare, but offi cers became suspicious when they saw his trousers were wriggling and had “ominous bulges in unusual places”.
We know that some people can be a bit nutty about their pets, but we’ve never heard of such desperate measures to take them on holidays.
A NEW travel app has been launched by travel industry professional Lisa Pagotto, called Crooked Compass. The app includes over 1000 unique experiences designed to allow travellers to get off the beaten track and fi nd something new. The experiences are located across 134 countries and are categorised so that you can fi nd one that appeals to you. They range from animal encounters, eating like a local, to unique accommodation and adrenaline fuelled adventures.
Each experience has its own page in the app which provides thorough information on what the experience is, the best time of year to go, where it’s located, how to get there, how much it costs, and how to book. An interactive map makes it easy to fi nd as well.
There’s also an ‘Experience of the Day’ which appears each time you open the app, helping to provide inspiration for your bucket list.
Why not go above and beyond for your clients by suggesting that they download the app for those incredible, once in a lifetime experiences that will let them escape any tourist traps and gain that local fl avour to their trip?
