It’s been a few months since Tourism New Zealand introduced a series of significant and beneficial changes to newzealand.com for registered operators. The new website is showing good results. For example, the volume of visitors sent to travel sellers between July and September was up 15% from last year, and one in eight visits (on average) were referred to operators.All operator listings on newzealand.com are free and will help ensure you can reach many of the one million people who visit the website every month. 
So, it’s worth taking a little time to add or update your listing at www.register.newzealand.com to make the most of this invaluable opportunity to get in front of potential visitors. Tourism New Zealand will soon be sending out a series of email newsletters providing information on how to upload content about your business onto newzealand.com and benefit from more visits to your own website. The newsletters will feature tutorials showing how to update your listing, add a deal and add an article. Workshops are also planned to provide information about newzealand.com to travel sellers. Visit Waimakariri will email you with workshop details when we are advised of the dates and venues.
