TOURISM Northern Territory will cover the cost of flights to the Outback for travelers visiting from the United States. The campaign, called "Fly Free to the Outback," gives U.S.-based travelers the opportunity to book an Australian vacation through one of 11 participating wholesale operators in order to earn free one-way flights from an Australian gateway city to Darwin, Alice Springs or Uluru (Ayers Rock).
The deal is operational from May 31 through July 31, 2018 and aims to encourage visitation to the spiritual heart of #Australia with the message You haven't been Downunder until you've been Outback.
Now is the time to visit Australia's Outback, with new and authentic cultural, culinary and adventure experiences from Darwin to Uluru. The New York Times named the Northern Territory's Top End #12 on the list of "52 Places to Go in 2018," and artist Bruce Munro announced the extension of his world-renowned art exhibit called "Field of Light Uluru". The Northern Territory saw record visitation from the United States in 2017, with the U.S. now at number one for international market visitation.
