Selling the New Zealand experience: what inbound tour operators need to know about your garden

摘要

I am an inbound tour operator and my company, Travel Time South Pacific Ltd, is a full member of the Inbound Tour Operators Council of New Zealand (ITOC). I have been in the New Zealand tourism industry for 40 years. I am one of the fortunate few whohave had the experience of working for our national tourist office, the New Zealand Tourist and Publicity Department for 22 years, where, among other appointments, I worked in the USA and in Australia. I have also worked in regional tourism as the firstdirector for Tourism Waikato (1985-1989), and for the past 15 years I have worked in the private sector as a self-employed inbound tour operator.
