Comment<br />
Although the measure of advertising awareness is taken weekly via the Roy Morgan<br />
Research Holiday Tracking Survey, the most suitable measures of performance are:<br />
> the average level of awareness for the whole year; and<br />
> the highest or peak level of awareness for any month.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re was little variation to the average level of advertising awareness for <strong>Western</strong><br />
<strong>Australia</strong> as a holiday destination from the prior year and it is difficult to compare with<br />
results prior to 2000-<strong>2001</strong> given the change in HTS methodology. However significant<br />
increases in peak advertising awareness can be directly attributed to the increased<br />
level of activity in Brand WA campaigns and the $100 Million Holiday Sale campaign<br />
conducted post September 11, <strong>2001</strong>.<br />

Comment<br />
<strong>The</strong> WATC conducted a number of television and print campaigns during <strong>2001</strong>-<strong>2002</strong><br />
which resulted in more advertising activity to consumers than in previous years.<br />
Awareness levels peaked at 69.8% in March <strong>2002</strong> following a Brand WA campaign.<br />
Another significant peak during the year of 64.2% occurred during December <strong>2001</strong><br />
following the $100 Million Campaign.<br />
Given people may not be able to recall awareness driven specifically by generic<br />
destination advertising alone, fluctuations throughout the year could also reflect other<br />
awareness-building activities, including advertising undertaken by other operators, such<br />
as coach companies and airlines.<br />
Fluctuations in advertising awareness throughout the year also reflect other awareness<br />
building activities including advertising undertaken by tourism operators, such as coach<br />
companies and airlines. <strong>The</strong> WATC provided financial support for cooperative tactical<br />
advertising to ensure the destination received appropriate exposure in the operators’<br />
product advertisements.<br />
