Australia to lure tourists with outback epic
(China Daily)
Updated: 2008-06-18 09:26  Tourism Australia will kick off an international marketing campaign to coincide with the film's planned release in November, Ferguson said. The epic was tipped to bring the biggest boost to tourism since Crocodile Dundee in 1986. Some cinema critics have predicted the film will be an amalgam of Australian cliches. But tourism industry officials are hopeful the movie epic will kickstart the country's tourist arrivals which have stagnated since the 2000. The film, Luhrmann's first film since Moulin Rouge in 2001, has been shot on location in the remote Kimberley region of Western Australia, the Northern Territory capital Darwin and the tropical city of Bowen. |
