Guide to our Events

Tourism New Zealand works in all our key markets to provide opportunities to promote travel to New Zealand, and its tourism products. We host events in New Zealand to assist with marketing our country too. Find more information about this on Working With Us.

There are a number of events we organise in our key market, including the following.

Kiwi Link

Kiwi Link is Tourism New Zealand’s largest offshore trade training and product development initiative which runs every 18-24 months in a number of our markets. Many New Zealand tourism products attend this coordinated event and present to travel trade who are seeking to update and develop their New Zealand product knowledge. These presentations may occur in a small group or individually. These are extremely valuable events to attend if you are interested in increasing your knowledge exponentially over a short period of time. For further information on when Kiwi Link may be running in your market see our Events.

Training at your business

In some markets we may have trainers available to visit your offices and run group training seminars. The format and content is flexible, and can focus on destination information, product sectors, or a combination. If this something you are interested in, contact your local Tourism New Zealand office.

Product Workshops

Product Workshops are conducted in-market by Tourism New Zealand staff, usually from the Wellington office. Trainers present the latest market information and provide insights to businesses to help them get the most out of our destination. Product Workshops include itinerary planning sessions, discussion of new and enhanced products and research. They can also include New Zealand based tourism operators or Regional Tourism Organisations, who visit the market to present information on their product or region.

Trade Shows

From time to time, Tourism New Zealand attends key trade events that help to promote destination New Zealand. Events such as World Travel Mart, International Luxury Travel Mart and many others all provide an outstanding opportunity to develop the travel trade’s understanding of tourism offer of our country.
