Huge GA ticket giveaway supports Bali market with industry-focused initiative
To support the tourism industry in Bali and increase the number of
arrivals from Australia, Garuda Indonesia will give away 1600 return
airfares* to Bali in one of its biggest promotions ever.
Launching this month, the "Love Bali" promotion will give Australian
residents who purchase tickets to Bali during a given time frame, the
chance to win an additional free airfare* for a companion to travel on
the same flights and in the same class.
The tickets must be purchased between January 16 and 28 (and issued
between 16 and 31 January) from retail travel agents, ticketed direct,
through a wholesaler, or via a consolidator. Travel should commence
between 13 February and 14 June 2006. Winners will be drawn on February
3.
Everyone who purchases a ticket during these dates and enters the
promotional draw - via SMS -, between January 16 and February 2 will
have the opportunity to win, says Garuda Indonesia's Regional Manager,
South West Pacific, Mr Suranto Yitnopawiro.
"As purchasers of all return fare trips to Bali (except industry fares)
will be eligible, consumers of all demographics and budgets are
included. In addition, our recently released Early Bird airfares will
give travelers the opportunity to experience Bali at a time when prices
are at their best, "Mr. Suranto stated.
"The "Love Bali" promotion will assist in rebuilding the strong repeat
client base that recent events have affected, while allowing the
opportunity for new visitors to form a relationship with Australia's
most loved destination .The promotion has been deliberately structured
to stimulate the market in a way that helps our retail and wholesale
partners gain a direct sales benefit. "
"We aim to reward repeat travelers to Bali, and to encourage new visitors so as to strengthen our overall business base."
Garuda Indonesia will support the promotion with a coordinated public
relations and advertising campaign including the distribution of
in-store promotional material, via TIFS, all travel agents
Australia-wide.
"To maximize the benefits of the promotion to all parties, we
seek the assistance of the travel industry in ensuring that qualifying
Bali tickets are issued and supplied to customers so they can get their
entry for a free airfare recorded within the promotional time frame.
"Until recently the Bali leisure market represented 12 per cent of the
total holiday market from Australia. We therefore expect the promotion
to produce considerable benefits for our retail and wholesale
partners."
