[Thu 05/08/2010 09:34:59]
In a bid to woo Australian visitors, TV's Amazing Race host and NZ native Phil Keoghan has signed on to be an ambassador of the region earlier this year.
Helping Christchurch & Canterbury Tourism to hook the Australian market is multi Emmy Award winner and host of hit TV programme The Amazing Race, Phil Keoghan, who signed on earlier this year to promote his home region of Canterbury as a tourism ambassador.
US-based Keoghan is in Canterbury this week filming a series of TV commercials and short website films (webisodes) which Christchurch & Canterbury Tourism will use to entice more Australian visitors to our shores.
‘Phil’s Best Kept Secrets’ series of TV commercials and online stories will see Keoghan heading across Canterbury to some of his favourite spots like Aoraki Mt Cook, Tekapo, Mt Hutt, Kaikoura, Christchurch city, Banks Peninsula and Waipara, giving Australians a special insight into his home region. They show Keoghan cycling, skiing, fishing, enjoying great wine and food, and chatting to characters along the way.
The TV campaign will start in Australia in September for spring and continue for 2011 autumn and winter to entice Australian to come over to experience the different seasonal offerings.
