Tourism Australia Managing Director, Andrew McEvoy, said the national tourism agency was harnessing the power of Facebook and its other social media channels to allow advocates of Australia to share their stories about what makes the country such a unique and distinctive place to visit.

“Social media is now deeply ingrained and integrated into our marketing activities, including the latest phase of our There’s nothing like Australia global campaign, which was even launched in Australia on our Facebook page,” he said.

In August of this year, Tourism Australia launched a new app on its Facebook page, allowing travellers to tap into their trusted network of Facebook friends for inspiration and ideas to plan and make the most of a holiday in Australia.

The ‘Discover Australia Through Your Friends’ app – the first of its kind in the world – merges the best of Google Maps and Facebook technology to create a unique travel planning tool to not only help choose where in Australia to go, but also provide inspiration and advice from friends who may already have been there.
