What's Up On Travel Writers Radio May 1 -Graeme Kemlo & Justine Costigan

Journalist , travel writer and editor Justine Costigan is one of our team and she's leaving Melbourne to live in europe for at least six months, initially moving to France later this month. While we're sad to see her go, we know what a great reporter she is and that we can expect some great stories from her time spent in Europe and nearby countries.  But she will be back next week to co-host another show and we appreciate her talent and commitment to her craft.  She explains why she's leaving in a conversation with Graeme Kemlo.

The Times of London ran a story recently headed: Macron wants French chefs to learn from the best … so he’s sending them abroad.  The story goes on to say that as French influence on global gastronomy wanes, plans are in place to send the next generation to Scandinavia and the UK.  You might imagine that some members of the French culinary scene could be upset by this suggestion so we thought we’d find out the reaction and Graeme Kemlo spoke with correspondent Anna Richards in the French culinary capital, Lyon.

Karin Avila, our correspondent in the Valencia Province of Spain is a triathlete and thought a local foot race sounded cool - El Camí dels Bandolers (Bandits Road in Valenciano).  It was a "thigh burner" not what she expected, but she did discover some amazing local history along the track.  Her notes on the event follow:
    Event: El Camí dels Bandolers (Bandits Road in Valenciano) trail race
    Location: Race start is in village of Senija in the Marina Alta region (Senija is 10 km from where I live)
    Route: Merchant trails from 16th-19th centuries, populated by thieves and bandits
    Distance: 23 km (there is also a half distance of ~13 km)
    Terrain: Scrub, forest, rocky and steep with 1275 meters elevation (4,183 feet)
    History: Josep Tomás Garcia ‘Josep de la Tona’ is a notorious bandit from the area who based himself in a cave – ‘Cova de la Garganta’ – on the trail where he could launch his kidnappings and robberies, known for committing a massive kidnapping and robbery in 1874 at a church in local village of Benimossot where ‘hardly any’ violence was carried out by him and his 34 bandits (book about event: El Robatori de Benimassot, Manel Arcos i Martínez)

In March Graeme Kemlo was fortunate to be invited as the only journalist to attend the Reawaken event by Business Events Perth.  From my perspective this was a pretty bold move by ths convention bureau to fly in and fully host 40 international decision makers and conference organisers not only from Australia, but also from USA, Canada,  Europe, UK and Asia.   Usually this would be something funded by Tourism Australia for the whole industry, but Perth has gone  along on this and as CEO Gareth Martin tells me they have already been 	successful in winning $15 million worth of business with another $70 million in a pipeline off the back of this three-day event.
Graeme also speaks with the event organiser, Tracey Cinavas-Prosser who is Director of Guest Experiences for BEPerth.  More: beperth.com
