September news

It was a great summer in UK and Europe, but the rain started as soon as we hit September and as a result customers started to book their holidays!  Demand spiked as soon as the weather turned, and the school holidays finished.  Tourism New Zealand have been active promoting Kiwilink and have even set up funded campaigns with a couple of agents.  We have also had the Tourism Queensland roadshow and Tourism Australia Marketplace in Los Angeles, in both cases I was seeing key decision makers and front-line staff where I may have spoken a bit about NZ!

The next months will be a key time to get in front of sales staff coming into the peak sales period.  i will be attending Kiwilink in London in mid-Oct and World Travel Market at the start of November. I have training set up with a lot of agents and even a big Trailfinders London training event with wine and prizes.
