Heard this on the radio today....

Bloody hell: a Japanese soapie?

Minister for Small Business and Tourism, Fran Bailey, plans to try a radical approach to entice Japanese tourists to Australia, as Tourism Australia drops the gSo where the bloody hell are you?h campaign.


Bailey told SmartCompany she is considering developing an Aussie gsoapieh featuring Japanese celebrities traveling around Australia. Producers are being approached and there is talk that the soapie, which might cost a few million dollars, will focus on adventure tourism including activities like wind surfing along the coastline.


Japanese travel wholesalers reacted coolly to the controversial gbloody hellh advertising campaign, which was launched overseas in March last year and successfully lifted awareness in other countries.


But in Japan, it was watered down to gSo why donft you come?h with the situation not helped by the rising Australian dollar.


The ideas behind the soapie is to ensure the Japanese wholesalers who control the market, take notice – and that Australia becomes fashionable again, especially with the gadventureh tourists.


Bailey says this is just one approach to address the decline in Japanese tourists at a time when visitors from other Asian markets, including China, Singapore and Malaysia, are rising.


Hmmm... Maybe Ryoko Yonekura or Yukie Nakama? *hopeful* :fingerscrossed:

If there's a rise from other Asian markets, why are they so concerned about losing the Japanese tourists?

Maybe because the Japanese are considered big spenders. They are also more easily ripped off by tourist traps and least likely to complain.
18 May 2007, 07:06 #20850
Plus a lot of Aussies genuinely like Japanese tourists, they are usually friendly and don't cause problems.... and like thtl said, big spenders on souvenirs etc ;)
18 May 2007, 07:09 #20851
Ahhhhhh okies, well that makes sense.

So true. Whenever I go to a Dodgers game, I will try to sit next to Japanese tourists if at all possible, friendly, polite, not at all like Americans. [/list:u]

Okay, it's probably just the difference in language, but truth to tell, if you open up an ad campaign like that, what you're gonna get are a bunch of perverted old Americans flocking to Australia.

A "soapie" might have something to do with TV, and wind surfing in Australia. But for old pervs like me, and to a lot of Japanese where it was invented, a "Japanese Soapie" is something you order in a brothel.

EH?! >>googles "Japanese Soapie"<<

Wynter,

Try the spelling, Soapy.

And you can enter it as either Japanese Soapy, or Thai Soapy.

A "Soapy" is a "Soapy". And I should probably stop right there.
