Showcase your product to travel sellers

Join the Explore New Zealand Discount Programme (Explore) to get international travel sellers to experience your product. Travel sellers are more likely to recommend and sell products to their clients when they have experienced them first hand. All Qualmark tourism businesses are invited to join the programme. Find out more information and how to participate here(opens in new window).

Showcase your product to global trade

Qualmark members are invited to film their product ‘selfie style’ as User Generated Content (UGC). We’ll then share your footage with our global Travel Trade audience via our social media channels, offering travel agents and trade throughout the world an almost first hand experience of your business. More information can be found here(opens in new window).
