April news
April started with the USA Travel Agent Forum in Las Vegas which was huge. There was a talk by Tourism Australia and Air New Zealand that attracted 180 agents, so demand is definitely there and USA numbers into NZ are booming. I was also on one of 3 stands that represented NZ (out of 200+) in the agent market area so again, very busy dealing with questions and requests.
I have also had great success with PR this month as I got a double page in the Daily Telegraph which went to print on 5th April. It is also on their website just before, see below link.

Next is obviously the build-up and preparation for Trenz and ATE and any fam trip opportunities.
May and June: I will be doing staff training all over the UK and also into Denmark, Sweden, and Germany plus Trenz and ATE follow up.
