| December 15, 2009 | 'Best Job in the World' winner becomes Tourism Queensland ambassador | | Melbourne: 'Best Job in the World' winner Ben Southall is set to go around the world as a Tourism Queensland salesman after his six-month job as island caretaker gets over. The UK charity worker will complete his stint
as Great Barrier Reef caretaker on December 31 and from January 1 he will work
as Tourism Queensland ambassador, where he'll tour US, Europe, Asia and New Zealand
, along with other former Best Job candidates. According to The Courier Mail,
Southall will settle in Brisbane and will be paid a six-figure salary, plus expenses,
as a global tourism ambassador to promote Queensland . Southall's new 18-month
stint will involve working closely with Tourism Queensland 's 14 international
offices and speaking at high profile events in Japan , South Korea , China and
Europe . He will also appear in a six-part National Geographic documentary series
exploring the Queensland islands through his eyes. "It would have been far too
busy for a lot of people. Some might have expected from the campaign that they'd
be sitting on their bums in a hammock on a desert island, but that would have
bored me after two weeks,'' News.com.au quoted Southall as saying. "So I'm glad
they kept me as busy as I've been," he added. | |
