Explore New Zealand Programme

About The Programme

At Tourism New Zealand our mission is to attract potential visitors to come to New Zealand now, do more while they are here and to come back again.

To help achieve that goal we have put together Explore New Zealand - a discount programme for travel sellers and media. Tourism New Zealand believe that if you have first hand knowledge of New Zealand, you will be better able to help your clients plan their New Zealand holidays.

New Zealand's industry participants in Explore New Zealand offer you very special discounted offers - making it easy and inexpensive for you to experience 100% Pure New Zealand.

Who Can Apply for an Explore Card?

If you're a frontline travel seller, you may be entitled to use the discounts in this publication.

Explore New Zealand cards may be issued to:

• Frontline travel sellers who can use their New Zealand experiences to better advise and sell to their clients
• To product planners, managers and other key decision makers who can increase New Zealand's profile and visitor numbers
• International journalists with a written commission to profile New Zealand

You should allow at least three weeks for your application to be vetted, processed and the necessary documentation to be returned to you by post.  To ensure quick processing of your application, please post two business cards to your local Tourism New Zealand office when you lodge your email application.  Once approved, you will be sent a laminated Explore New Zealand card which gives access to around 500 discounted offers on flights, accommodation, sightseeing, activities, restaurants and shopping.

Next thing you know you could be in New Zealand, skydiving over Lake Taupo, bungy jumping off bridges in Queenstown or sampling sauvignon wines in Marlborough.
