Singapore Airlines strengthens collaboration with Tourism Queensland

The partnership further opens avenues for Singaporean tourists to hop in Queensland and the rest of Australia.

Singapore Airlines and Tourism Queensland have signed an agreement to jointly promote tourism to Queensland through the Airline’s services to Brisbane.

Under the four-year agreement, which took effect from 1 July 2011, Singapore Airlines and Tourism Queensland will jointly fund a range of campaigns and promotional activities aimed at driving tourism to the Australian state.

Mr Tan Chik Quee, Singapore Airlines’ Senior Vice President Marketing, said that the partnership with Tourism Queensland reflected the Airline’s long-term commitment to the Australian market.

“Our association with Queensland has had a long history and our belief in the tourism proposition for Queensland has remained unshaken through thick and thin. With the extension of this partnership with Tourism Queensland, we hope to continue to attract visitors from all over our extensive network to discover the wonderful variety of experiences that Queensland offers,” said Mr Tan.

Queensland’s Minister for Tourism, Manufacturing and Small Business, Ms Jan Jarratt, said Singapore Airlines was an important aviation partner with access to many key international markets and its network would help Queensland achieve its goal of attracting more travellers.

“The agreement is a show of support from a wonderful Queensland aviation partner. It reaffirms the importance of strong aviation partnerships which are crucial to the strength of Queensland’s tourism industry,” said Ms Jarratt.

Key markets covered under the agreement include China, Germany, Indonesia, India, Japan, Scandinavia and Singapore.

Singapore Airlines operates 92 flights a week to five Australian cities: Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. It has worked with major Australian tourism organisations over the years to promote the country as a destination of choice for tourists around the world.

Singapore Airlines operates 19 flights weekly to Brisbane from Singapore with Airbus A330-300 aircraft, fitted with its newest cabin products specially designed for medium-haul and regional routes.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
