Commenting on "Oprah's Aussie visit 'not worth it'? "
Title Oprah has done her part; Australia has to come up with the goods!

This is an example showing that many Australians just like to knock. How is $5 million compare with the potential gain with the $25 million Gillard's government spends on promoting the carbon tax which is objectionable by 85% of the population? Oprah did her utmost in all her Down Under shows to promote Australia. Good promotion requires good marketable products to achieve sale. It's up to Australia to come up with the goods to attract the Americans to come over. Have the airlines, tour companies and hotels come up with packages so tempting that the Americans cannot refuse? I recently returned from a cruise with a lot of Americans onboard. Many I have spoken to love to visit Australia. These are in the sixties and older. They do have plenty of money - they don't come for beaches, ecotourism or adventure. They come here to be pampered and relax. They will shop for things they can't get in America. The crux of the matter is, what are we going to sell to these Americans who can afford?
