Explore New Zealand

The Explore New Zealand programme offers a range of discounts on tourism products for media and travel industry people travelling New Zealand independently.

By travelling with their Explore Card, media and travel agents are able to do more during their time in New Zealand. And by experiencing tourism products first-hand, they are better equipped to sell and write about them and their New Zealand holiday experience on their return home.

New Zealand operator registration for the Explore New Zealand 2009 - 2010 programme is open from 1 July to 15 August 2008.

This opportunity comes up just once every two years. If you are considering being part of the programme, read the Explore New Zealand FAQ.

You can view recent examples of international media results from travel journalists using the Explore Pass by downloading the attached document.

Online registration will open on 1 July and close at 5pm on 15 August 2008.

Please note: Regardless of whether your company has been part of the Explore New Zealand Programme previously, you will need to complete a new registration.
