Your town's adopting a tourism slogan with Kahui in it.

Hope it's aimed at overseas visitors only.
Locals mightn't fancy the connotations of that word as a brand.

The reason Wanganui doesn't attract tourists is because its a prick of a place at the end of a long dead end road, Not because of marketing.

532053 2007-03-14 19:58:00 What would be a good marketing slogan for Gore, I wonder?

Could be a good litle earner here for a marketing "guru". Travel around small town NZ, promising to rebrand each town and magically increase tourism, pocket the cash and get the heck outta town before.

Sounds like that episode of The Simpsons where they built a monorail .....

Yeah, but what was the VD rate among the sheep?

Equivalent, obviously to the VD rate of the shearers. What would be more interesting is the stats on rams vs ewes. :rolleyes:

Don't think that particular virus could be blamed on MS. They only (edited) people.

Vista: Slow and Dangerous
The security program in Microsoft's new version of Windows is so annoying you're likely to turn it off. And that's risky
