Australia. Perth has been successful in securing a large Taiwanese corporate incentive travel group later this year that will deliver a 1.15 m Euros bonanza for the local economy. The Perth Convention Bureau presented the successful bid, beating off competition from Cairns in Queensland. The Bureau’s Managing Director Christine Mclean said that a total of 700 delegates would visit Perth in staggered groups in October and November, each staying six nights. “This is a wonderful win for Western Australia and represents the kind of high yield business that is a key focus of our Tourism Minister in the wake of the global economic slowdown,” she added.
