Los Angeles, CA – March 13, 2009 (PressReleasePoint)-- No worries for those that didn’t make the finals for Tourism Queensland’s coveted Best Job in the World. Now, Island Caretaker or not, everyone has a chance to take the vacation of a lifetime, as V Australia and Tourism Queensland team up to offer the Best Vacation in the World! Experience Queensland, Australia and an opportunity to win a pair of roundtrip economy class tickets from Los Angeles to Brisbane on V Australia’s new nonstop service.

The chance to win a free trip is only available at the much- anticipated 2009 Queensland Exchange ‘Best Vacation in the World’ consumer event, which will take place on Sunday March 22. The affair will be held on the front lawn of the world- renowned Aquarium of the Pacific in sunny oceanside Long Beach, California. Showcasing Queensland and the Great Barrier Reef as a premier travel destination, the event will also introduce travelers to V Australia’s new convenient non-stop Boeing 777-300ER services from the west coast to Brisbane, Australia.

Attendees will meet some native Aussies and learn about traveling to Queensland, plus have a chance to win a pair of roundtrip, economy class tickets from Los Angeles to Brisbane onboard V Australia’s new non-stop flights launching April 6*. Tour operator partners will be on hand to lend their expertise on accommodations, tour packages and special deals.

Riding off the global success of Tourism Queensland’s Best Job in the World campaign, several of the Top Final 50 shortlisted applicants will be mingling with the crowd:

Angelene Orth, New York, NY
Cali Lewis, Dallas, TX
Melissa Schenk, Stratford, ONT
Marcella Moser, Victoria, BC
Hailey Turner, Brisbane, Australia

Shana Pereira, Tourism Queensland Regional Director, Americas, expects the event to help motivate long haul travelers to book their trip, given the favorable exchange rate for U.S. travelers to Australia.

“It’s a fantastic opportunity for consumers to get the travel deal of a lifetime to Queensland, home of the Great Barrier Reef – one of the natural wonders of the world,” she said. “In these tough economic times, the traveler is looking to go where they can get the most value for their dollar.”
