  Speaker 1: So we've got this amazing prize which is charter flights

  Speaker 1: Tour National Park passes return airport transfers and of course
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: all of the amazing conventary guest program that is available
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: with Airs Rock Resorts. So quite an amazing prize.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: It is an amazing prize, and we're pumped to be
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: giving this away for two people next week. But if
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: you don't, actually, if you're not one of the lucky
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: people who wins, there's actually this is part of a
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: wonderful initiative that voyagers have got going at the moment,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: isn't it well.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: Which was thanks to the Northern Territory government and their
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: idea to actually give territorians not just a reason, but
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: financial support to explore their own backyard. So with the
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Territory Tourism bounches that are soon to be released, this
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: prize is actually made at eleven hundred and ninety seven
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: dollars per person twin share. However, if you want to
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: use your territory vouchers to book these amazing charters, and
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: there's two departure date it's one on the sixteenth of April,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: in this second on the twenty third of April, it
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: actually comes down to only seven ninety seven per person
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: if you use all those vouchers twin share so it
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: really is an amazing opportunity to explore your own backyard.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: And I think so many people, whether you've lived in
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: the territory for a long time or whether you've lived
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: here for a short time, so many people actually want
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: to get to the Red Center and experience all LaRue
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: in all of its glory, and this is really the
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: opportunity to do that.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: It is, Katie, and aple's a beautiful time to be there.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: And you know, I think for all of us, this
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: is really about what we can do rather than what
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: we can't do. It's less about the fact that we
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: can't go offshore. It's all about the fact that we
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: can explore our own backyard. And importantly, it's good for
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the economy of the territory to actually put money back
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: into the tourism economy.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, really is. We're so pleased to be involved in this.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: I just think it sounds like a wonderful initiative. But
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: it's also a fantastic opportunity for us as territorians to
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: try and support our tourism operators, particularly those in Central Australia.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Right now.
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, and of course you didn't have to wait
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: until April, but it is an amazing opportunity to come
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: down and experience all of the culture and beauty that
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Uluru has to offer, and to experience the great hospitality
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Airsrock Resort and are huge thanks to Mix for your partnership.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: How have things been going at the moment down at
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Ularu has it? I mean, obviously you've had some big
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: impacts as a result of no international travelers.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: We have, but it comes back to as I said earlier,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: you know, we really take the view that we focus
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: what we can do rather than what we can't do,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: and certainly all around Australia, this is an amazing opportunity
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: to really holiday here this year, as you've seen in
