I know this isn't the most *educated* post ever, but... maybe it would be worth having it in Australia. Even with travel fares and costs.

$2000USD++ for flights, probably $100USD+ a night accommodation, unless a really good deal could be arranged. $15-$30USD+ per meal. Unaffordable for kids that need to come with parents, unaffordable for your average teenage cuber. Expensive for your average adult cuber.
 
Because it makes no sense.

Well, after

America, America, Europe, Europe, Asia

Asia again would make sense. And then probably distribute it better afterwards. Probably Australia once in a while :)
 
If we had it in Australia, Melbourne would definitely be the best place to have it (more competitions that any other Australian city.) However, because Australia only has about 100 cubers, and it's very expensive, probably not a likely place. If it was in Asia again, the countries with the most cubers are China then Indonesia.
 
From the rumors I heard it might be somewhere in South America. But they are still only rumors, I don't think anything serious is planned yet.
 
I personally think Indonesia would be a great place. They have a ton of cubers scattered across the country..I'm sure a great venue could be found. And they also have a lot of manpower, considering the huge amount of cubers.

We could enquire about rates at http://www.urbancamp.org.au but the average international competitor would be looking at US$2,500+ for the trip. On the other hand it'd only be around $600 for 40 odd Kiwi competitors. :-P

We'll see how competitions expand around Australia first... two years to go :-)

Tim.

@Shanghai: Beijing plz kthnx

Twice in a row on South East Asia? That will be great.
Yea, a lot of cuber here, but they are living the different islands, transportation is huge problem for them,

FYI, Jakarta - Eastern part of Indonesia round trip is way more expensive than Jakarta - Bangkok round trip.
I hate the fact that Indonesia is an archipelago.

For me it would make sens to break the "double" tradition. suppose we put the break "back in time"; between Europe, Europe.

Then the logical order would be Europe, Asia, America - repeat (until cubing in another continent becomes "big" enough).

Personally I'd love to see the next one in Europe though :)
What about Brussels?
