Cook Islands

The Cook Islands is being discovered by a new generation of Australians as an affordable holiday destination with a range of new accommodation, ranging from luxurious, intimate resorts to stylish self-catered villas for families or couples wanting the comforts of home.

This unspoilt paradise in the Pacific boasts stunning geographic beauty, combined with a welcome from friendly, warm locals, all with sophisticated infrastructure but without the usual trappings of the tourism industry.

There is even a progressive dinner party in which visitors dine on delicious, authentic Polynesian cuisine prepared by locals in their own homes throughout the evening, something unheard of in most tourist regions.

Speaking at the launch of the marketing campaign in Australia, the CEO of the Cook Islands Tourism Corporation, John Dean, outlined the reasons why this destination is capturing so much attention.

“While always considered one of the most romantic destinations in the world, the Cook Islands have now been transformed by a new range of upscale accommodation having opened in the last two years, as well as a range of existing resorts already popular with Australians.”

“The good news for Australians is that not only are these places offering exceptional service and locations, but they also compare favourably pricewise to anything remotely similar in the region, with something to offer everyone – from great cuisine, wine and coffee to world-class diving in our lagoons,” John said.

The Cook Islands Tourism Corporation has developed a marketing campaign which highlights the strongest elements of the region:-

* Romance
* Secluded Escape
* Gentle Immersion
* My Family
* History and Legends
* Connection to the Environment
* Adventure

Over the course of the campaign, the CITC will focus on each of these attractions, hoping to appeal to various sectors of the market depending on their specific interests. They expect that the region’s pristine environment will serve as a huge drawcard for visitors, who are increasingly seeking out places that have remained unspoilt by tourism.

VIRGIN BLUE OPENS NEW FLAGSHIP “THE LOUNGE” AT SYDNEY AIRPORT

ANNOUNCEMENT OF NEW JET BASE & 1000 JOBS FOR SYDNEY

V AUSTRALIA UNVEILS LIE FLAT INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS CLASS BED AND IN-FLIGHT “V BARS”

Virgin Blue Group of Airlines has reinforced its commitment to its New World Carrier strategy, today unveiling a suite of new product enhancements for the business market including its lie flat International Business Class beds and snazzy in-flight “V Bars” for V Australia and a new “The Lounge” facility at Sydney T2 domestic terminal.

New South Wales Premier, The Hon. Morris Iemma, attended the opening of “The Lounge” facility and also used the opportunity to join with Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey, to announce the establishment of a Virgin Blue jet crew base in Sydney. The creation of the base will generate up to 1000 aviation jobs on top of the 1000 jobs announced earlier this year with the opening of V Australia’s operational base in Sydney.

The establishment of the base will include a Cabin Crew and Flight Crew training facility for V Australia and Virgin Blue Sydney-based crew. Virgin Blue intends to have 450 team members working from the base by the end of the year, including Cabin Crew, Pilots and Licensed Engineers. Projected growth figures have that number almost doubling to approximately 1000 Virgin Blue team members within five years. They will be based at Virgin Blue/V Australia’s new training centre at Botany.

Virgin Blue recently opened its B777-300ER simulator at Silverwater in Sydney for training V Australia pilots. The airline has confirmed it will further invest in Sydney-based cabin crew training infrastructure, with the inclusion of Boeing 737-800 and EMBRAER crew training devices at the Botany base.

The jet crew base represents a significant expansion for Virgin Blue operations in Sydney and comes off the back of the recent launch of new regional flights from Sydney to Port Macquarie and Albury, as well as the launch of Capital Jet services on the Sydney-Canberra route.

The airline Group is also investing in product enhancements and infrastructure for the benefit of Guests, throwing a “Lounge warming” party today for its bigger and better The Lounge at Sydney T2 domestic terminal, after it outgrew the previous facility which had a maximum capacity of 140 Guests.

In a multi-million dollar refurbishment, Virgin Blue has taken over 1815 square metres of the former Ansett Golden Wing Lounge. The space has been transformed into Virgin Blue’s flagship Australian The Lounge in the country, with comfortable capacity for 400 Guests.

Virgin Blue Chief Executive, Brett Godfrey, said, “Virgin Blue is serious about being a viable business travel option for Australia’s corporate sector and this is demonstrated in our ongoing efforts to pre-empt the “highly desirables” for this market. We anticipated we would outgrow our smaller The Lounge facility and have had a long term plan to build Virgin Blue’s state-of-the-art flagship lounge at our busiest airport in the country.”

Since the launch of its New World Carrier strategy three years ago, Virgin Blue has progressively expanded its suite of business-friendly products and services, including the recent introduction of Premium Economy seating.

Brett Godfrey continued, “Our new Lounge is a bolder version and reflects the evolution of Virgin Blue as we continuously grow our product to better service the corporate market. It has more meeting rooms, a larger business zone as well as a larger bar area and more seating areas.”

Guests will be able to access The Lounge from the departure/arrivals concourse via lift, escalator and stairs.

Virgin Blue offers The Lounge facilities in Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne and Sydney and is currently reviewing opportunities to open new The Lounge facilities in other Virgin Blue ports across Australia.

During The Lounge warming party, Virgin Blue also unveiled demonstration models of V Australia’s lie flat seats which will offer a comfortable lie flat bed, complete with cosy in-flight “sleep suit”. The airline also showed off the in-flight “V Bar”, which will feature in both International Business and International Premium Economy cabins.

Brett Godfrey said, “V Australia is a contemporary and premium quality three class long haul airline and we developed the product specifically to provide an edgy trans-Pacific travel option. V Australia will offer lie-flat beds on the trans-Pacific route and two in-flight bars for Guests to mingle.”

V Australia remains on track for the scheduled December take-off of its first Sydney-Los Angeles flight*, with crew training underway, the first 777-300ER aircraft nearly complete at Boeing’s Seattle manufacturing facility and construction work starting shortly at Los Angeles International Airport.

Brett Godfrey added, “These are both challenging and exciting times for the Virgin Blue Group as we prepare to launch Australia’s newest international airline, expand our Virgin Blue domestic route network and provide a high quality, fiercely competitive and affordable airline to Australian and US travellers. Aviation is without doubt a volatile industry but as Virgin Blue has proven, it is also one that presents a great opportunity to revolutionise and revitalise travel and we relish the opportunity to do it all over again with V Australia.”

Multi award winning airline Virgin Blue and international carriers Pacific Blue and Polynesian Blue currently operate a fleet of 72 modern Boeing 737 and Embraer E-Jet aircraft flying to 25 Australian and eight international destinations including New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu and the Cook Islands. Virgin Blue Group has also announced plans to launch Australia's newest international airline, V Australia, set to commence flights between Australia and the USA from December 2008.

* V Australia flights are subject to regulatory approval

Adina Apartment Hotel Expand Further into Europe

Following the success of its existing Adina Apartment Hotels in Europe, Australian-owned Toga Hospitality is set to add at least three new Adina Apartment Hotels to its portfolio over the next two years.

Toga Hospitality’s three Adina Apartment Hotels, currently operating in Copenhagen, Budapest and Berlin offer stylish and spacious five-star apartment accommodation, hotel service and excellent lifestyle facilities.

Due to the rising popularity of the apartment hotel model in Europe, Toga Hospitality is pleased to announce the opening of the following new Adina Apartment Hotels:

• Adina Apartment Hotel, Berlin Hauptbahnhof: 2009
• Adina Apartment Hotel, Hamburg City (Michel) April: 2010

The Hotel will offer 134 rooms including one and two bedroom apartments and studios. The apartments will feature separate lounge and sleeping areas with fully equipped kitchens and laundries and facilities including gymnasium and pool. Many of Frankfurt’s main sightseeing attractions such as the historic Romer, Frankfurt Cathedral, St Paul’s Church and the Goethe-House are within walking distance.

The Black Dog Institute’s mission is to advance the understanding, diagnosis and management of mood disorders by raising awareness, clinical research, education and training standards.

The Southern Highlands community will directly benefit from its association with the Black Dog Institute with the establishment of, two new Mood Assessment Program Centres (MAP) to open in Bowral and Mittagong to help doctors diagnose mental illness more effectively.
