Tourism New Zealand Has New Trade Site

Tourism New Zealand has launched a new trade web site (http://www.traveltrade.newzealand.com) designed to make it easier for travel agents to use and with a new section providing suggested itineraries for clients.

As the primary source of information to help travel sellers learn more about New Zealand and how to sell it, the site provides training tools and resources such as online modules and the 100% Pure New Zealand Specialist program.

The redevelopment was initiated to ensure the site provides current, relevant educational resources and tools — both to those new to selling New Zealand and those familiar with the country. The site’s look and feel has now been aligned with Tourism New Zealand’s consumer web site, http://www.newzealand.com .

Tourism New Zealand’s general manager, Americas & Europe, Gregg Anderson says the new trade web site provides a strong platform to further promote the 100% Pure New Zealand Specialist program.

“The 100% Pure New Zealand Specialist program is a free online training tool that assists travel sellers to increase their knowledge, capability and sales of New Zealand as a destination,” he said. “New content providing regional selling points has been added and new itineraries have also been developed and added for each region.”

The site is now available in English, Korean, simplified Chinese and Japanese, and will be translated into French, Portuguese, Latin American Spanish and Bahasa Indonesia in the coming months.
