You may have received an invite recently to attend one of our industry webinar sessions over the next few weeks.  These sessions are run via the internet allowing you to dial in from your office or home to hear the latest updates from Tourism New Zealand.

There are two more webinars to be held – on 26 June Mischa Mannix-Opie, Regional Manager South & South East Asia, will provide an update on marketing plans for the next financial year; and on 3 July David Brem, Websites Manager, will give a ‘jargon- free’ update on the work underway to enhance newzealand.com. You can find information and register to attend here.

There is a lot of activity underway in the trade and business events space. Applications are now open for China Incentives, Business Travel and Meetings Exhibition (CIBTM)  and World Youth and Student Travel Conference 2012 (WYSTC). We are also seeking expressions of interest for the Kangaroo Roadshow, a frontline trade event in Brazil and Chile, and ITB Asia 2012 – the annual three day B2B trade show and convention. You can find information and online application forms for all upcoming events here.
