DOMINIONS CUT OUT
BIG AMERICAN TOURS (United P.A.—By Telegraph — Copyright) (Australian and N.Z. Press Association.J NEW YORK, Thursday. The determination of managers of American tourist agencies not to include Australia or New Zealand in their world cruises, apparently has not been relaxed. The Raymond Whitcomb Company has just announced its plans for 1930. It gives an itinerary covering 29 countries. Australia and New Zealand are not among them.
The tourist agencies have submitted various reasons for cutting Australia and New Zealand out of their itineraries. One is that the Dominions had not proved a sufficient attraction to tourists, that they did not have the same interest for travellers as older countries. The vice-president of another tourist agency said: “Cuttings we have received of newspaper comments on our passengers were far from conducive to sending American tourists to Australia. We have, as far as we know, always been welcomed in any other portion of the world with our touring vessels, but one would gather from the observations of the Press in Australia that such was not the case at the different ports in that country where our ship touched.’*
