  • Legendary Pacific Coast – 7 Days
    Legendary Pacific Coast – 7 Days The iconic East Coast 1,000 kilometres road trip from Sydney to Brisbane is officially known as the Legendary Pacific Coast and is one of Australia’s top road trips stretching 1,000 kms along the Pacific Coast corridor. Along this spectacular 1000-kilometre (621 mile) drive from Sydney to Brisbane, you will find something for all the family; stunning beaches, green rolling hills, beach and riverside towns, wineries, historic sites, the hinterland and wildlife watching. Day 1: Sydney to Newcastle (2 h 15 min 162.9 km via M1) Newcastle is Australia's second oldest city. With great beaches, ocean baths, inner city pubs and a thriving cafe scene, such as Derby street, Newcastle is a vibrant and happening place. • Two convenient ways to travel between the historical attractions and the gorgeous beaches are the Newcastle Coastal Explorer and Newcastle’s Famous Tram, a replica 1932 tram. • Alternatively, bring your bicycle or hire one and pedal from the heart of the city to the beaches and along the coast. • Refresh with a swim at Newcastle Merewether Ocean Baths. This city landmark opened in 1935 and is the largest ocean pool complex in the Southern Hemisphere. • Newcastle Memorial Walk was built to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the ANZAC landing at Gallipoli in 1915 and the commencement of steel making in Newcastle; it acts as a magnificent memorial to the men and women of the Hunter who served their community and their country. Day 2: Newcastle to Port Stephens (60.5 km via Nelson Bay Rd/B63) From sublime natural beauty to freshly caught seafood, Port Stephens is a wonderful beach escape on a sparkling blue bay.

  • Samoa Visitor Survey
    Samoa International Visitor Survey January – June 2018 Prepared for Samoa Tourism Authority by New Zealand Tourism Research Institute Auckland University of Technology www.nztri.org October 2018 Acknowledgements NZTRI would like to acknowledge the Samoa Tourism Authority (special mention to Kitiona Pogi, Dulcie Wong Sin, Jeddah Leavai and the broader email collection and processing team) and Samoa Immigration for their support in this ongoing research. This report was prepared by Simon Milne, Mindy Sun, Jeannie Yi, Caroline Qi, and Birthe Bakker. ii Executive Summary This report focuses on the characteristics, expectations and expenditure patterns of international tourists who visited Samoa by air between 1 January and 30 June 2018. The data presented is collected from an online departure survey (http://www.samoasurvey.com/). There were 3,297 individual respondents to the survey (5 % of visitors during the period) - representing a total of 5,899 adults and 1,501 children in terms of local expenditure analysis (the latter figure equates to 11% of all visitors during the period – based on national visitor arrival data from the Samoa Bureau of Statistics). The initial survey period of 1 January and 30 June 2018 acts as a pilot to refine and develop the survey further. During this survey period we registered good responses from all markets with the exception of visitors from American Samoa, this market has therefore been removed from the current analysis. The survey invitation has now been amended to specifically encourage, visitors from American Samoa to complete the survey and the market will be incorporated in future reporting. Three in five (60%) of visitors surveyed come from New Zealand with 23% coming from Australia.
