Kia ora and welcome,

As travel professionals, you know how important it is to make sure people get a friendly welcome and have a great time. New Zealanders are committed to providing their visitors with that kind of experience.

If you are yet to travel to our country, I hope you will have the chance to visit us soon and enjoy some great Kiwi hospitality. And if you have been to our shores before, I hope you will be back again soon.

Because no matter how familiar you are with New Zealand, there is always something else to discover about our land and its people.

There is so much to see – from sparkling beaches and pristine lakes, to soaring alpine playgrounds, and volcanoes and geysers.

There is so much to do – trout fishing in a beautiful mountain stream, sampling our café and bar culture, pampering yourself in a luxury spa resort, or visiting a marae and learning the stories and traditions of Maori.

There is so much to taste – some of the best fresh food in the world served by top-class chefs, and an array of sumptuous wines from almost every corner of the country.

And there are so many ways to get a thrill – from bungy jumping and jet boating, to white-water rafting and mountain biking through some truly majestic scenery.

Whatever you are looking for – for yourself or your clients – New Zealand is waiting for you to explore and enjoy.

Best wishes and happy travels.

Hon. John Key
Prime Minister and Minister of Tourism
