Thought this might be of interest to a few people
Aussie TV to win back Japanese tourists
Saturday May 19 08:12 AEST
Japanese actor Yoshino Kimura could light up a taxpayer-funded Australian soap opera in a bid to win back visitors from Japan.
The brainchild of Tourism Minister Fran Bailey, the TV series will be shot in Australia and screened in Japan, News Limited newspapers says.
It aims to replicate the so-called "Neighbours effect", drawing huge numbers of British tourists who had watched the Australian soap.
Ms Bailey could not say how much the new show would cost, but funding would come from Tourism Australia's $193-million marketing budget.
Labor tourism spokesman Martin Ferguson said the planned TV show was a stunt, but Ms Bailey said she hoped the series would start in 12 months and reverse an 8.5 per cent drop in Japanese visitors.
Ms Bailey established the $180-million "Where the Bloody Hell Are You?" ad campaign, which failed in Japan.
The minister said she had ideas on storylines.
"One is to have a group of people travelling around Australia and having adventures, meeting Australian characters - well-known ones as well as your ordinary, everyday Australians."
Ms Bailey was glowing in praise of Kimura, saying: "She is held in very high esteem in her country."
...Could be successful...could be a complete flop. We'll just have to wait and see I guess. _________________
