Specialist Programmes

Tourism New Zealand operates Specialist or accreditation programmes in a number of countries.

Members of these programmes gain significant advantages when promoting New Zealand as a destination, through increased knowledge of the country and its regions and ongoing training provided by Tourism New Zealand.

• The Kiwi Specialist Programme operates in ten countries and is aimed at individuals working in the travel trade
• Accreditation: In Japan, our modules count towards accreditation for another travel professional programme, instead of our Specialist Programme.

Travel sellers who complete our Training Modules can contribute these to the JATA Destination Specialist status.

Once ten modules have been completed, students receive an email that contains a link to an online certificate (in Adobe Acrobat PDF format). This certificate can be downloaded and printed for presentation to JATA supervisors as proof of completion. For more information on JATA visit www.traco.jp.
