Where the bloody hell have we been......Our current Indian Ocean Tourism initiatives

Where the bloody hell have we been ?? Blogging is not always easy...... We have been working on tourism projects, but not in the vain of Tourism Australia's ad.

We have been doing some great promotions recently and have some great new national ones coming up.

Mauritius continues to be a great focus for co promotions with our current MX News campaign, "Win a Trip to Mauritius" receiving loads of interest thanks to twice weekly inserts in the newspapers over 3 weeks.

The prize is supported by Veranda Resorts, Air Austral and my company, Reunion and Beyond ( the dedicated holiday programme for Australians - a joint initiative with Air Austral ). If you are an Australian resident and want to enter for a chance to win - do so now !! Entries close 30 October 2010.

Upcoming co promos include a campaign and a great giveaway prize with Air Mauritius and a resort (TBA) with a big national bookseller of some note - with an immense database of almost a million subscribers, and almost 100 stores across Australia.

We help out Special Olympics Australia as often as we can and have a great project lead by @Envirotrade in partnership with Solis IO in Mauritius to help the people of Gorongosa in Mozambique.

My new project | The launch of our new site www.visitmauritius.com.au has taken up a lot of my time. Designed to be an organically high ranking, local site for Australian travellers, VisitMauritius.com.au is an opt in platform for island service providers to reach an Australian audience. Looking to holiday in Mauritius.

Visitmauritius.com.au already great support from our major hotel partners on the island, Veranda Resorts being the first to jump on board and sponsor their pages. If you’re not listed, and want to be - print and send me a service agreement !

The site is 90% finished - so stay tuned for more plus integration into our other platforms and news distribution. If you want to join up to receive news - like the Facebook app or follow VisitMauritius.com.au on twitter

You may have missed the last segment on Getaway | Channel 9 Australia's travel show - the travel show with Australia's largest audience ? If you did - check out the page and our Reunion Island segment here

Africa is getting loads of interest and bookings in our office thanks to a strong AUD. Lots of Mauritius and Africa enquiries showing a continued love by Australians for a safari and resort holiday. Reunion Island continues to generate a lot of interest in the Australian market but is traditionally hard to convert into bookings.

If you missed the news - the Piton de La Fournaise erupted generating a lot of calls about volcano tours in Reunion Island !
