All article content submitted to the site for publication is reviewed by Tourism New Zealand for relevance, completeness and web hygiene factors (e.g. use of images). However, content contributed to the website by in large is published the way the author intended and all content is clearly attributed to the author.
When an author is creating an article for newzealand.com they must ‘tag’ the article and can include up to five keywords or topics. The tags determine where on the website the article will surface (usually in multiple places) and help website users find content to meet their specific information needs. For example, an article about a recommended mountain biking experience in Queenstown could be tagged, Queenstown, mountain biking, adventure, and Summer. The same article could be found by a consumer if they are interested in any of these places, activities or topics..
