Tourism and Events Queensland and Tangalooma Island Resort recently named Former Australian Test Cricketer and bowling coach of the Indian Premier League’s Chennai Super Kings team Andy Bichel as it’s Tourism Ambassador. At an event held recently in Mumbai to announce the same, Bichel shared his fond memories of holidaying with family and friends at Tangalooma Island Resort and what made this resort the most sought-after island getaway in Queensland, Australia.
Talking about the association with Bichel, David James, Company Director, Tangalooma Island Resort said, “This partnership offers Tangalooma Wild Dolphin Resort a great opportunity to build its profile within the international tourism arena, particularly the Indian corporate and leisure markets, utilising Andy’s success as bowling coach to the Chennai Super Kings as well as his international cricketing career profile.”
Ross Gregory, Director International, Tourism and Events Queensland added, “Queensland is a top destination choice for many Indians travelling to Australia and we have seen double digit growth year-on-year from this emerging market. Having Andy Bichel wave the flag for Tangalooma Island Resort which welcomes over 1500 Indian guests annually to the resort will certainly help to further enhance interests in Queensland’s island experiences.”
