The 27-year-old has been announced as the new brand ambassador for Australia\u2019s international tourism campaign Come and Say G\u2019Day, a two-year global initiative reportedly worth USD 130 million. The campaign, which first launched in 2022 with its animated mascot Ruby the Roo, will now roll out fresh creatives across key markets including China, India, Japan, and the UK before the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">Joining an impressive roster that includes UK food writer Nigella Lawson, wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin, Chinese actor Yosh Yu, Japanese comedian Abareru-kun, and Australian actor Thomas Weatherall, Sara\u2019s presence is designed to draw Indian travellers \u2014 particularly young audiences \u2014 to the land Down Under.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">In an exclusive conversation, Sara shared how she sees her role and what makes Australia such an irresistible destination for Indians.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><strong>On what will resonate with Indian travellers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">\u201cAustralia\u2019s warmth and welcoming spirit will feel instantly familiar,&#8221; she said. \u201cThe multicultural food and thriving coffee culture in cities like Melbourne and Sydney bring comfort, while the vast landscapes, unique wildlife, and outdoor lifestyle add a sense of wonder. And of course, the shared love for cricket connects us deeply \u2014 you\u2019ll always find someone talking about it in Australia, which makes Indians feel at home.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><strong>On inspiring sustainable travel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">Sara also hopes to use her platform to highlight conscious ways of exploring the country. \u201cBeing an ambassador is about encouraging people to travel more mindfully. Australia has so many experiences rooted in nature, Indigenous culture, and local communities, and I\u2019d love to inspire travellers to explore these in a way that supports sustainability. It\u2019s about going beyond sightseeing to create meaningful, lasting connections with a place.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><strong>Adventure or laid-back living?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">When asked which side of Australia\u2019s character appeals more to her, Sara admits she\u2019s drawn to both. \u201cThere\u2019s an undeniable thrill in adventure, whether it\u2019s snorkelling in the Great Barrier Reef or exploring the Outback. But I equally enjoy the calm of Australia\u2019s beaches, local markets, and caf\u00e9 culture. The beauty of Australia is that you don\u2019t have to choose; you can live both experiences in one trip.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\"><strong>Balancing familiarity with discovery<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\">Indian travellers often seek comfort alongside cultural discovery, and Sara believes Australia offers exactly that. \u201cCities like Sydney and Melbourne are a perfect balance, you can sip world-class coffee while also discovering Indigenous history through walking tours and cultural centers. Coastal escapes like the Great Ocean Road bring laid-back luxury, while foodies can indulge in local tastings across many regions. Australia proves you don\u2019t have to give up comfort to discover something new.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\"><strong>On using digital storytelling to inspire travel<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"12\" class=\"story_para_12\">With her strong social media presence, Sara intends to make Australia aspirational yet accessible. \u201cI believe in sharing travel as I experience it authentically. Through photos, short videos, and personal stories, I want to show that Australia isn\u2019t just aspirational, it\u2019s achievable. By mixing beautiful visuals with practical tips, I hope to inspire my audience to see Australia not as a faraway dream but as their next real journey to create the best holiday memories.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"13\" class=\"story_para_13\">As Come and Say G\u2019Day goes live globally, Sara Tendulkar is carving her own path from cricketing royalty\u2019s daughter to a global voice for travel. Her fresh perspective, digital influence, and ability to bridge cultures might just be the spark that inspires more Indians to pack their bags and discover Australia.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/swati-chaturvedi-2023-11-311a7f6229417d5d5693180448c9311a-scaled.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/swati-chaturvedi-22519.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Swati Chaturvedi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Swati Chaturvedi, a seasoned media and journalism aficionado with over 10 years of expertise, is not just a storyteller; she&#8217;s a weaver of wit and wisdom in the digital landscape.
