WAGGA WAGGA HOLIDAY & TRAVEL SHOW (February 2006)

Visitors to the annual Travel Fair at Wagga Wagga’s Bolton Park Stadium on Saturday 4 February were treated to a large display depicting not only Rex’s network of flights and fantastic holiday destinations, but also a taste of what goes on behind the scenes of an airline with a special presentation by Rex Engineering. The display included a large cutaway model of a Saab 340 aircraft, an actual propeller blade, the internal turbine wheels of an engine as well as a detailed electronic display of what occurs at Rex’s Heavy Engineering Base at Wagga Airport.

Another highlight was the display of produce from King Island, one of Rex’s holiday destinations in Tasmania. King Island cheeses, honey, kelp spread and pure rainwater were sampled. Tasmanian mainland and King Island holiday packages were well received by those attending looking for a great holiday escape.

Rex also had on hand a large LCD screen display of our web site with on-line bookings. Visitors to the Rex stand were able to access fares and flights on line and compare prices for travel across the Rex network. Some even took the opportunity to book their flights then and there.

The highlight was a special competition enabling those attending a chance to win a holiday for 2 to King Island comprising return Rex flights from Wagga Wagga, one night's accommodation and car hire.

The Rex display was attended by many Rex staff and was co-ordinated by Ian Greenwood, Rex’s Regional Sales Manager.
