Tourism Australia’s fresh ‘dreaming’ content features a collaboration with influential electronic duos, Flight Facilities and the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, “to emulate the unique feeling of an Australian holiday, through vision, music and 8D audio,” the tourism bureau said.
The Tune into Aus video aspires to “reignite the desire for international travellers to holiday in Australia when they are able to do so,” Tourism Australia said, with the clip incorporating strong visuals from every Australian state and territory, and a mix of landscapes, wildlife, cities and Indigenous culture.
“The new video aims to emulate the invigorating feeling an Australian holiday brings, and get international audiences excited about the return of travel to Australia. From diving into the crystal-clear waters of South Coast New South Wales, to gazing up at the darkest skies on the planet in South Australia’s Flinders Ranges, and the glistening white sails of the Sydney Opera House,” Tourism Australia says.
Other destinations captured in the video include Ningaloo Reef, the Gold Coast, Hobart, Canberra, Great Barrier Reef, Great Ocean Road and the Kimberley.
Phillipa Harrison, Managing Director, Tourism Australia, said: “Tune into Aus showcases unique moments only an Australian holiday can deliver and reminds international travellers of the diverse destinations awaiting them”.
