\u201cThis digital campaign features new video content, of our glorious Harbour City, hosted by architect and Channel Seven’s House Rules judge Joe Snell. Mr Snell gives the viewer a local’s insight into ‘Sydney by day’ and ‘Sydney by night’ showing that there is much more to see and do in Sydney than just visiting the renowned icons and also to encourage repeat visitation,\u201d Mr Stoner said.<\/span><\/div>\n
In addition to bespoke video content, HotelClub will also run a fully integrated, cross platform digital media campaign designed to educate, engage and influence its highly loyal travel savvy members. HotelClub has a successful record of destination campaigns with its members but this is the first time they have produced such unique content for a tourism organisation.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cSydney is Australia’s global city and one of the world’s most exciting and desirable destinations, and this campaign will encourage HotelClub members to visit Sydney during the winter months,\u201d Mr Stoner said.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cThis is the first time Destination NSW has partnered with HotelClub, who are part of global online travel company Orbitz Worldwide,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/div>\n
Director of Partner Marketing at Orbitz Worldwide, the parent company of HotelClub, Stuart Stacy said: \u201cResearch indicates 63% of leisure travellers use video to inform their choice on ‘where to next’ and it also plays an integral part in itinerary planning with 65% watching video content to plan their stay.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cWe have some of the Sydney’s best hotels on sale with up to 30% off.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
Video host Joe Snell said, \u201cAs a HotelClub member and a Sydney resident it’s great to be involved in a tourism campaign which encourages people to visit and explore this evolving and enchanting city, and to discover what sets us apart from the rest of the world.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cEven though I grew up and have lived here most of my life, the natural beauty of Sydney never ceases to amaze me.  What excites me right now is the quality of our lifestyle, the social and entertainment culture, combining with that natural beauty to create a true gem in the international landscape of cities.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
Destination NSW Chief Executive Officer Sandra Chipchase said the partnership had been executed as part of Destination NSW’s ‘Love Every Second’ of Sydney in Winter campaign.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cLaunched in 2012 the seasonal ‘Love Every Second’ of Winter and Summer campaign, continue to deliver exceptional results contributing more than 1.67 million visits to the Sydney.com website and more than 327,500 sales leads to the tourism industry in Winter 2013,\u201d Ms Chipchase said.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u201cWinter in Sydney is a specular time to visit and to explore the great outdoors and many attractions for the whole family to enjoy.\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n
