Live it up on NZ$1 luxury deal
01 May 2009
Luxury travel may seem out of the question for some during the current economic crisis, but a New Zealand deal could see one lucky couple enjoying NZ$33,000 of indulgence for just NZ$1.
New Zealand Luxury, a company that represents a collection of the country’s leading luxury tourism operators, has come up with a ‘Give it Up to Live it Up’ campaign offering two people a life of luxury in New Zealand for a month.
NZ$1 reserve
To be auctioned on the global website eBay, the NZ$33,000 worth of luxury travel will have a NZ$1 reserve and gives viewers just 10 days to bid.
The auction, due to kick off early next week, will be linked from the newzealandluxury.com website. The Twitter community will also be able to track progress at twitter.com/NZLuxury.
Lap of luxury
Included in the package is four weeks of accommodation at some of New Zealand’s leading luxury lodges, boutique hotels and one of the world’s most exclusive private villas.
The lucky couple will have the chance to fly in style on a private jet, and experience some exclusive helicopter-accessed adventures. They will also cruise aboard a private yacht, and be chauffeur-driven in luxury vehicles through some of New Zealand’s most stunning natural scenery.
Untouched World
Money raised from the luxury campaign will go towards the Untouched World Charitable Trust which helps young adults develop life skills to maximise their potential and achieve a sustainable future.
The trust is run by the New Zealand-based Untouched World clothing brand which is the first fashion company in the world to be recognised by the United Nations for sustainability.
The company has also donated a range of men’s and women’s clothing as part of the online auction.
Luxury travel in New Zealand
Luxury travel has recorded the highest growth in New Zealand with spending in the sector tripling in the past decade.
An increased number of high-end lodges and the growth of luxury tourism experiences have put New Zealand firmly in the minds of luxury travellers worldwide, and Neil Pollett of New Zealand Luxury says he hopes the auction will draw even more attention to the country’s elite, award-winning luxury sector.
"It will also give one lucky couple the chance to experience for themselves some of the very best things we have to offer the world, at a fraction of the normal cost," he said.
