Tourism New Zealand with support from Tourism Auckland,
Positively Wellington Tourism, Christchurch & Canterbury
Tourism and local operators hosted a group of seven travel company
directors during the Indian cricket tour of New Zealand in March
2009.
The aim was to improve knowledge of New Zealand regions and
products among Senior Management from leading tour companies using
the Indian Cricket Series with New Zealand as a backdrop.
The group visited the Sky Tower in Auckland, the International
Antarctic Centre and the Tramway in Christchurch, along with a day
trip to the Canterbury resort of Terrace Downs. They were surprised
by a helicopter trip back to Christchurch. In Wellington, they
visited the New Zealand Cricket Museum, Te Papa, Parliament and
discovered the wild South Coast with Seal Coast Safaris.
Of course, they were also guests at 20:20 Cricket matches in
Wellington and Christchurch. Many thanks to the Millennium Hotel in
Christchurch for the use of their Corporate Box.
