A delegation from the Rugby World Cup (RWC) Fukuoka Committee and the Fukuoka Prefectural Government visited our office on Friday, August 17. The delegation was in Australia to promote the northern Kyushu region (including Fukuoka), particularly focusing on appealing to inbounding tourists for the RWC. Tickets for the RWC are available for general application for individuals this month, and will be available for sale from January at a first-come-first-served basis.
The delegation visited travel agencies, schools well-known for rugby, and other rugby-related organisations in Sydney to promote RWC matches held in Fukuoka, and also requested for assistance from the organisations they visited in promoting the Northern Kyushu region here in Australia.
At the CLAIR Sydney office, our staff gave an explanation of the different types of rugby played in Australia, and the differences in their popularities in different parts of the country. We also explained about the different events we participate in throughout the year, and the targeted demographics for these events, which were all useful information for the delegation’s promotional activities here in Sydney. CLAIR Sydney will continue to support their promotional activities.
