    Melb investment call
    VICTORIA Events Industry
    Council (VEIC) is calling on
    the State Govt to ensure that
    Melbourne can continue to
    deliver all-round excellent
    experiences for the growing
    numbers of sports fans.
    The move follows the city
    being named the SportBusiness
    Ultimate Sport City of the decade
    at the SportBusiness Ultimate
    Sport City Awards last week.
    Key areas of focus should
    include improved transport
    services, such as access to
    free Wi-Fi services within the
    CBD, minimising congestion,
    extending the Free Tram Zone,
    and providing multi-lingual
    information on public transport,
    said VEIC chief executive Dianne
    Smith.

    crumbs!
    THE first state-sanctioned
    Pastafarian couple, potentially
    in the world, have been married
    in New Zealand.
    The couple consider
    themselves members of the
    Church of the Flying Spaghetti
    Monster, worshippers of a
    spaghetti-and-meatball god.
    Married aboard a pirate ship,
    the couple and their 40 guests
    were dressed as pirates - as the
    Church of the Flying Spaghetti
    Monster teaches all humans
    descended from pirates.
    The couple came up with their
    own wedding rituals, including
    an exchange of rings while
    blindfolded and a la Lady and
    the Tramp, where they ate the
    same strand of spaghetti until
    their mouths met in a kiss.

    $50m incentive for NZ

    NEW Zealand will welcome


    10,000 of Amway Chinas top
    sales people in 2018 for a five day
    incentive following a massive
    win for the country.
    Secured by Tourism
    New Zealand, Destination
    Queenstown, Air New Zealand
    and Immigration New Zealand,
    the group will visit in waves of
    500 spread across the off-peak
    season in autumn 2018.
    The $50 million in value is
    estimated just from Amways
    spend on the incentive alone.
    Each of the 10,000 staff will also
    contribute additional personal
    spend while in the country
    bringing the total even higher,
    said Tourism New Zealand chief
    executive Kevin Bowler.
    The win also sends a clear
    message that New Zealand is a
    significant player in the incentive

    China is New Zealands secondlargest and fastest growing
    tourism market, contributing
    nearly $1.7 billion to the
    economy in 2015 and Chinese
    tourists have the highest daily
    spend of any visitors.
    Mayor of Queenstown Lakes
    District Vanessa van Uden said
    Queenstown will pull out all the
    stops for the sales reps.
    We are known as the
    adventure tourism capital of New
    Zealand so if Amways visitors
    would like to hurl themselves off
    a bridge at the end of a bungy
    cord, or take a swift ride in a
    jetboat, they will be thrilled with
    what they find here.
    Equally, if they would like to
    soak up the views while enjoying
    fine food and wine, or saunter
    around our local trails, then they
    will be delighted, van Uden
    added.
