Mischa Mannix-Opie,Tourism New Zealand's new Regional Manager South and
South East Asia,announced the expanded focus for the organization while
reinforcing the continues commitment to marketing New Zealand as holiday
destination out of India.
"India is an important market for New Zealand partcularly as travellers visit after the typical summer high-season has concluded.Their welcomed arrival supports tourism operators through the shoulder season,"says mrs Mannix-Opie.
New Zealand is a popular destination among honeymooners and those seeking self-drive itineraries. Free Independent Travellers (FIT) currently make up around 60 per cent of New Zealand's Indian visitors and this sector is increasing more rapidly than group travel.
Indians prefer to visit New Zealand during their summer - April to June - making this market an important source of visitors for New Zealand's autumn shoulder season.
There is currently no direct air service to New Zealand from India. Indian travellers must travel via Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur or Sydney.
