INDUSTRY COMMENT
JANE DAWKINS UK director, Tahiti Tourisme
“UK arrival figures have taken a 50% tumble since pre-
financial crisis times. Reduced airlift after ANZ dropped its flight in 2008 played its part but with the appointment of a UK representative means we are implementing a diverse marketing and PR strategy. “The change in the wedding law on the islands – now possible after spending just three days here – will boost the romance market, which is our main sector. "
EUNICE YEO Area director, Singapore Tourist Board “In addition to hotels, the
next few years will see a number of new attractions opening. In 2012 these include The River Safari in Mandai, the world’s first river-themed wildlife park, and Gardens by the Bay, a world-class innovative modern garden complex, plus the new International Cruise Terminal. "Singapore is constantly evolving, so we
have developed Singa-pro, in association with Travel Uni. Assisting agents in obtaining in-depth knowledge."

welcome H
TO SELLING LONG HAUL
ere at Selling Long Haul we take the title of our magazine seriously! Each issue we bring you destinations – both those well established with UK travellers and others less
visited – from all corners of the globe, and our line-up of features this month certainly fits that remit. Pick up key selling ideas for South Pacific, Tahiti, Indian Ocean, South Africa, Kenya, Colombia, Singapore and Malaysia. We have also travelled to little-known Idaho to report on one of the USA’s ‘hidden gems’. We hope you are logging on
to our website regularly, where you’ll find a different selling tip each day. We are delighted with our partnership with
Travelguru.tv, which provides our travel videos.
SellingLongHaul.com is also where you will find our current competitions: log on to win a place on what will be a great fam trip to South Africa in December. You can also find details about the Selling Long Haul Christmas party on Wednesday December 14. And last, but far from least, the website is where you can now tell us who you think are the best companies in the travel industry by voting in the 2011 Travel Agents Choice Awards (TACAs). There are some great prizes up for grabs if you do!
