DOMINIONS’ CHANCE

Tourists Looking' Toward the Pacific DISTURBED EUROPE Domin'ion Special Service. Auckland, May 15. -Realising it. is much easier to ‘sell’ tour taking in the attractions of the Pacific Islands, New Zealand and Australia, than a trip to any one of them, the Commonwealth is co-operating to the full extent with the New Zealand Government Tourist Department in the United States as welt as in the,Old World,” said Mr. C. H. Holmes, director of Hie Australian National Travel Association, which controls the Commonwealth publicity overseas, who was a through passenger by the Monterey in tlie course of a world tour, during which he interviewed 200 executives connected with travel, transport and publicity in various countries. Mr. Moore was pleased to find that Australian and New Zealand propaganda had bad a marked effect in recent years, as evidenced by a. more enlightened conception of the countries which now existed.

Travel on the Continent had greatly diminished as a result of the unfavourable excliauge and the disturbed state of Europe, and the time was very suitable for travel to the Dominions. It could be tipectcd to show a marked increase.
