  • TEC MEMBER E-DIRECTORY October 2016
    TEC MEMBER E-DIRECTORY October 2016 What is the Tourism Export Council of New Zealand? The Tourism Export Council of New Zealand is a trade association that has represented the interests of inbound tourism since 1971. Their inbound members package holidays for international visitors whether they be part of a group tour, independent traveller, conference/incentives, education or cruise visitors. What do we do & who do we represent? The Tourism Export Council’s focus is to build long term business relationships with distribution networks in New Zealand and offshore. The relationship with product suppliers in New Zealand and offshore wholesalers is integral to the country’s continued growth as a visitor destination. Member categories include: . Inbound member - inbound tour operators (ITO’s) . Allied member - attraction, activity, accommodation, transport and tourism service suppliers Examples of the allied membership include: . Attraction – Milford Sound, SkyTower, Te Papa Museum . Activities – Jetboating, Whalewatch, Maori Culture show . Accommodation – hotels, luxury lodges, backpackers . Transport – airlines, bus & coaches, sea transport, shuttles . Tourism services – Regional Tourism Organisations (RTO’s) digital & marketing companies, education & tourism agencies eg. DOC, Service IQ, Qualmark, AA Tourism, BTM Marketing, ReserveGroup Why is tourism considered an export industry? Tourism, like agriculture is one of New Zealand’s biggest income earners. Both are export industries because they bring in foreign dollars to New Zealand. With agriculture, you grow an apple, send it offshore and a foreigner eats it. A clear pathway of a New Zealand product consumed or purchased by someone overseas. Tourism works slightly differently: The product is still developed in NZ (just like the apple) It is sold offshore (like the apple) It is purchased by a foreigner (again like the apple) BUT it is experienced in NZ and therein lies the difference.

  • Jetstar Brings More Visitors to Queenstown for Christmas
    Dec 23, 2011 16:46 +08 Jetstar Brings More Visitors to Queenstown for Christmas Crew of the first Jetstar flight on the Wellington to Queenstown route celebrate. • First flights from Wellington and Sydney to Queenstown almost sold-out • Growing New Zealand tourism through competition and low fares • Jetstar’s on time performance for Queenstown 88 per cent Hundreds of friends, family members and holidaymakers arrived in Queenstown today on Jetstar’s inaugural flights from Wellington and Sydney, just in time for Christmas and New Year. All but a handful of the 180 seats on flight JQ293 from Wellington were filled, with the A320 aircraft touching down in Queenstown mid-morning. Meanwhile, more than 170 passengers winged their way across the Tasman from Sydney on flight JQ223 to arrive in Queenstown mid-afternoon. Jetstar Australia & NZ CEO, David Hall, joined Queenstown Airport CEO, Steve Sanderson, and Destination Queenstown CEO, Tony Everitt, in welcoming passengers. “We’re pleased to be bringing friends and families together for Christmas, and more visitors to Queenstown,” Mr Hall said. “In addition to our new Sydney and Wellington flights, we’ve introduced an extra weekly Melbourne service and two extra weekly flights to Auckland. “In total, these services have the potential to bring an additional 180,000 additional travellers into the region each year,” said Mr Hall said. “Our low fares, which are at least 30 per cent lower than our competitor’s, mean travellers have more money to spend once they arrive.” Mr Sanderson said: “Today’s inaugural flights represent another significant inbound tourism injection for Queenstown.
