Footballers and movie stars: PM's Shanghai tourism push
Enticing Chinese travellers to Australia will be the priority of Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's tour of China. After touching down late on Saturday with fiancee Jodie Haydon, Mr Albanese's six-day visit to the Middle Kingdom begins in the bustling financial hub of Shanghai, where he will promote Chinese tourism to Australia. China is the second-largest visiting tourist market to Australia, trailing only New Zealand. In the 12 months to March, 860,000 trips were made to Australia by visitors from mainland China, contributing $9.2 billion to the domestic economy, or about a quarter of the total short-term international visitor spend. While travel numbers have bounced back since Beijing put Australia back on its approved destination list for organised tour groups, trips still significantly lag pre-COVID-19 pandemic figures. More than 1.4 million Chinese travellers visited Australia in 2019. Recovering that shortfall is crucial for businesses that are reliant on tourist spending and have suffered from lower international travel and higher input costs in recent Sunday, the prime minister will oversee the signing of a memorandum of understanding between online travel giant - which owns popular bookings sites such as Skyscanner - and Tourism Australia. He will also unveil a new tourism ad campaign to air in China, hoped to further promote Australia as a travel destination. "Not only is Australia's beef, barley, red wine and lobster the best in the world - we're the best place in the world to come for a holiday," Mr Albanese said."Expanding our tourism relationship with China will mean more jobs for Australians and a boost to Australian businesses."The ad will feature Chinese cinema heartthrob Yu Shi - whose acting credits include appearances in the wildly popular fantasy trilogy Creation of the Gods - and Ruby the Roo, an animated kangaroo voiced by Australian actor Rose joint Australian-Chinese billing underscores Mr Albanese's mission to boost cultural and interpersonal links, as well as economic ones. On Sunday morning, Mr Albanese will meet with former Socceroo Kevin Muscat, who now coaches professional football outfit Shanghai Port FC - the side he led to a third Chinese Super League title in 2024. The former midfield hatchet man has brought over a host of Australian coaching staff, including fellow ex-Socceroo Ross Aloisi, in a sign of the deepening collaboration between Australia and China on the sporting field.
