Singapore Airlines and Tourism Western Australia to Spend A million on marketing over the next three years

Singapore Airlines and Tourism Western Australia have signed a A$5 million three-year agreement to jointly fund marketing campaigns to promote travel to Western Australia in 10 key international markets to get their residents to fly to Perth on Singapore Airlines via Changi Airport.

This agreement is part of the A$12 million international marketing boost announced by Premier Mark McGowan and Tourism Minister Paul Papalia in March to grow the number of visitors to Western Australia from overseas. This is the biggest international marketing push in the State’s history.

The agreement will cover markets including the UK, Germany/Switzerland, India, China, the US, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Japan, Indonesia and Singapore. Campaigns will include promotional airfares and travel packages to Western Australia through digital, print and television advertising.

The target for this cooperation is to generate over 11 thousand visitors to Western Australia.
