As the latest ambassador for Australia's tourism board, Hemsworth serves as narrator for a new ad that's part of a global campaign called "There's Nothing Like Australia", which was officially unveiled at an event in New York Monday on the eve of Australia Day.
Also in attendance was Aussie native and US transplant, chef Curtis Stone.
The campaign will focus heavily on Australia's "aquatic and coastal experiences".
"I have always been so proud to be Australian and it's a pretty special feeling knowing that I will have a role in promoting my country to the world and encouraging more people to come down under and experience our amazing beaches and landscapes for themselves," said Hemsworth in a statement. – AFP/Relaxnews, January 26, 2016.
