WA cooks up tourism plan

-

MASTERCHEF could be headed for Western Australia in the latest bid to attract tourists to the state.

Negotiatio­ns are reportedly under way with the producers of the television show to bring 85 people to WA, including the contestant­s, judges and crew.

Premier Mark McGowan would not confirm the reported $1.2 million price tag but said the State Government’s goal was to attract more events and marketing opportunit­ies to WA.

“It’s innovative and, to be fair, compared to a TV advertisin­g campaign it’s relatively affordable,” he told 6PR radio yesterday.
