The New Zealand Travel Collective is participating for the first time in an international travel trade promotion. Founder Trish May is showcasing a range of South Island tourism products at Tourism New Zealand’s Kiwilink North America 2022.

Over 50 agents from the United States, Canada, Mexico and Brazil have travelled to attend Kiwilink and meet with Trish during the event, which runs from 24 July to 27 July 2022 in Los Angeles.

The New Zealand Travel Collective is a new sales representation service sharing tourism products from Christchurch, Fox Glacier, Wanaka and Queenstown at the event. 

  • Commodore Hotel – Christchurch
  • Hotel Montreal – Christchurch
  • Touchdown Car Rentals – Christchurch & Queenstown
  • Fox Glacier Guiding – Fox Glacier
  • Edgewater – Lake Wanaka
  • Queenstown Park Boutique Hotel
  • Queenstown House Lakeside Luxury Apartments

“Kiwilink is a great platform to meet with agents, enhance their product knowledge and for some, introduce them to my portfolio, which is very much suited to the North American markets,” said May. 

It is the first time Tourism New Zealand have hosted a Kiwilink event since the pandemic. It provides an excellent opportunity to meet, reengage and reconnect with travel sellers in the Americas.
