Tourism New Zealand has revealed the Australian winners of its You Seek global travel industry famil.
From 16-24 April, the ten lucky travel advisors will tour New Zealand, visiting Auckland, Nelson, Marlborough and Wellington. And understandably, we’re well jel.
Travel agents could enter the competition, which launched in October 2022, after completing training modules on New Zealand.
There were three different tiers of entry available, with entrants’ chances of winning increasing with each tier.
“We look forward to hosting these agents in April and inviting them to feel the manaakitanga (a Māori expression of reciprocity, generosity and hospitality) of Aotearoa,” Tourism New Zealand General Manager Andrew Waddel said.
“It is only when you experience the magic of the motu (country) for yourself that you’re able to share stories and encourage respective clients to seek beyond.”
The Aussie winners set to explore the North Island of the Land of the Long White Cloud are:
- Leann Molloy – Flight Centre
- Grace MacRae – Flight Centre
- Jacqueline Bourke – Flight Centre
- Melissa Thornton – Flight Centre
- Jessica Bennett – TravelManagers Australia
- Sharon Ward – TravelManagers Australia
- Selena Petyt – Journey Earth
