Discover the World wins at Tourism New Zealand awards
We are delighted to have clinched the top Kiwi tourism award last night, being named ‘Travel Specialist of the Year 2007’ at the glittering ‘New Zealand Tourism Awards’ ceremony held at London’s Hurlingham Club.
Now in their seventh year, the awards are jointly sponsored by Air New Zealand and Tourism New Zealand. They aim to recognise excellence in product development, marketing and sales work undertaken by the UK travel industry to promote tourism to New Zealand.
As well as the winning ‘Travel Specialist of the Year’, Discover the World also claimed the prize for ‘Best Online Content’ and was highly commended for Best New Zealand Marketing/Promotional Campaign and also for Best New Zealand Consumer Publication. Liz Lunnon, New Zealand product manager from Discover the World was presented the coveted ‘Supreme Award’ by Hayley Westenra, the top New Zealand soprano who also gave a stunning performance for guests during the evening.
Scott Carr, Air New Zealand’s General Manager for Europe said that the standard of entries was increasing each year reflecting the tremendous effort put in by the trade in selling New Zealand. He says “Discover the World really stood out as the number one specialist, setting the benchmark for marketing New Zealand. Its in-depth knowledge and innovation was apparent at all levels from product development and website content, to the ‘can do’ and passionate enthusiasm of their staff - inspiring the British traveller seek out New Zealand’s hidden gems.”
Twenty-one operators and specialist retailers entered the awards. Categories included marketing and promotion, on-line content, sales performance and product development.
Discover the World are absolutely delighted and quite overwhelmed with all of the awards. All of our hard work has certainly paid off! Well done to us all!
