TOURISM New Zealand (TNZ) is intensifying its trade engagement efforts through an overhaul of its Kiwi Specialist training programme and increased incentives.
The NTO has renamed its training scheme to 100% Pure New Zealand Specialist Programme, made it easier for travel consultants to become specialists and tweaked the criteria required to remain specialists after qualifying.
To encourage sign-ups, the first 50 who meet the module completion criteria and attend TNZ’s training by December 31 will be given a chance to win a place on the South and South-east Asia mega fam trip in March 2014, where participants will be taken to both North and South Islands.
The 100% Pure New Zealand Specialist Programme will be launched in South and South-east Asia on June 1, while the mega fam trip promotion runs from June 1 to December 31.
In addition, the two companies with the highest number of qualified consultants will receive free registration for Tourism Industry Rendezvous New Zealand in 2014, the country’s top tourism trade event.
