Tiger Airways congratulates itself for boosting domestic tourism

Using newly released data from the Bureau of Infrastructure Transport and Regional Economics (BITRE) Tiger airways has claimed the credit for developing domestic travel within Australia.

While traffic figures in the Australian market grew by 4.4% in the month of August, Tiger shows that routes that it has entered has grown by 14.9% while routes that it doesn’t fly grew 1.9% - lower than the national average.

“Its official! Tiger Airways has grown the travel and tourism markets in Australia thanks to our low, low fares,” said Shelley Roberts Tiger Airways Australia Managing Director.

“People that would never have travelled before or would not have travelled as often are now travelling with Tiger Airways. Not only is this great news for consumers directly, but it’s great news for all Australians as we continue to stimulate the economy and create new jobs.”

Tiger’s figures come from averaging the growth rate for the year between all the destinations that it flies against that that it doesn’t.

In august passenger numbers for Tiger routes have grown by over 100,000 compared to August in 2007, whilst routes that Tiger doesn’t fly grew by 50,000 passengers.

“My advice to local tourism businesses and agencies who want to lift the number of visitors to their destinations – knock on my door and make me an offer I can’t refuse because these statistics show that Tiger Airways does grow markets in Australia and you too can reap the rewards for your businesses,” remarks Ms Roberts.
