"In our new Australian campaign, Visit California is able to capitalise on one of California's key destination drivers, Hollywood and celebrity culture, to encourage Australian travellers to discover their ultimate kind of ‘out there'", she said.

According to the tourism body, The involvement of Qantas will provide "a strong call to action" along with extending the reach of the campaign through the airline's own commercial channels.

It is Visit California's fourth campaign launched to the Australian market since 2010, with the state claiming "record growth" in Australian visitation year on year since 2009.
