It was a successful run for the John Hughes Rumour File this morning, with two separate rumours confirmed. TAKE IT TO THE BANK told Gareth Parker on 6PR Breakfast on Friday that Tourism WA's new brand campaign to promote tourism in the west will feature Empire of the Sun's hit song Walking on a Dream and a strong Indigenous element. The McGowan government will today launch the global campaign with WA songwriter Luke Steele, Tourism  Minister Roger Cook and Tourism WA boss Carolyn Turnbull. UNBELIEVABLE last week told Parker that four acts had been locked in already for this month's AFL Grand Final at the MCG, including G-Flip, which was confirmed by the league today. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Virgin Australia has slashed fares to Perth to just $119 one-way from four Eastern State capitals in a bid to boost local tourism by $11 million. The promotion is part of the State Government's $195 million Reconnect WA package and Tourism WA's $12 million Wander Out Yonder domestic marketing push. The “Escape to WA” flight incentive is for discounts up to 50 per cent for flights from Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide. The campaign targets travellers in the Eastern States looking to visit friends and relatives in Western Australia, as well as those who want to holiday within the country instead of heading overseas. Sunrise correspondent Matt Tinney has the details. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The West Live is on the road this week, and we're doing the show today from Albany. A bit later on we'll speak to the local mayor and find out what's going on around town. On the topic of travelling around WA, we need to speak about what Tourism WA is doing to get interstate visitors to head West. We spoke on the West Live a few weeks back about a Tourism WA plan to bring Network 10's current affairs show The Project over here. Well, now we have a better idea of how much that cost. It's been revealed the government's tourism agency had a budget of 1.5 million dollars to bring Peter Hellier, Carrie Bickmore and co over here for a week's worth of shows. We don't know exactly how much of that money was spent, but you'd have to think a lot of it, considering The Project went up to Broome, visited Margaret River and Ningaloo Reef as well. So what did WA get out of this big expenditure? Well, that's not so clear. The Project's ratings have been falling for years, and some of the episodes shot in Perth were actually watched by more West Aussies than Sydneysiders.  That's less than ideal. Ask Tourism WA though, and they'll tell you  it was a raging success.  They reckon that if you include supporting media coverage, which means advertising and social media, the promotional value of those Project episodes was worth 8.6 million dollars. That number is more rubbery than Gumby, but it does follow industry standards for calculating such things. Tourism WA also reckons that while the Project episodes aired traffic to WA's flagship tourism website increased by 31 per cent. That sounds great, but would sound even better if we knew what the number was before the increase. My guess is, not nearly as high as we'd like it. With international borders reopening and the airlines falling over themselves to add new routes and offer discounts, it's going to be harder than ever to attract visitors to WA. So, I don't hate the idea of Tourism WA shelling out the big bucks to bring national TV shows to Perth. But its fair to question whether the Project, with it's relatively low viewership was worth the money. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
