Well that’s not how it’s been going in my business, quite the opposite.

One big difference lately though has been that more people are calling me to get me to put together domestic packages rather than international ones, and it got me thinking.

What is it about where I live, the Central Coast of New South Wales in Australia, that would make someone want to come and holiday here?

We have some of the most beautiful (and pretty deserted) beaches in the country, we have an enviable selection of cafes and restaurants, a beautiful temperate climate pretty much year-round, and we have one of the most laid-back lifestyles of anywhere in Australia and probably the rest of the world.

But what is it about your town that would make people want to spend their hard earned holiday dollars there?

Here is your chance to be the ambassador for your home town to an international readership that are looking for a different travel experience in 2009.

Put yourself in tourism minister mode and really sell us the place. Every new dollar in tourism at the moment will count to your local community so don’t hold back, let’s hear some shameless self-promotion!
