Tourism New Zealand is partnering with Auckland Airport and Thai
Airways International to target free independent travellers and
incentive visit groups to New Zealand during July-November
2011.
The two campaigns aim to boost low season visitor numbers.
The campaign targeting independent travellers provides a free
night's hotel accommodation including breakfast, for every Thai
Airways, Bangkok-Auckland-Bangkok round trip ticket
purchased. Visitors can choose to stay in Auckland, Rotorua
or Queenstown. Participating hotels include Sky City Hotel,
Accor and Millennium Hotels. The promotion is valid until 31
August 2011.
The incentive market promotion offers a refund of the New
Zealand group visa fee for every visit group of 20 people or more,
with the promotion valid until 30 November 2011.
In the year to June 2011, New Zealand welcomed 20,000 visitors
from Thailand with June 2011 arrivals up 1.8 per cent on June 2010
arrivals.
