NZ TOURISM AWARDS

Entering and winning business awards, such as the New Zealand Tourism Awards, is a discipline that many companies use to achieve excellence.
The Tourism Industry Association of New Zealand has been reviewing the awards process and further details are expected in early 2010.
So.....you’ve decided to enter the New Zealand Tourism Awards. Now is the time to review the historic criteria and assess whether you've 'got the goods' to enter.

“Trish assisted us with all of our entries into the Tourism Awards. She helped keep us focused
on the entry, which was very important as we were writing the entry during the midst of a busy summer. Trish had a special ability to take our words and information and transform
them clearly onto the page, whether by way of words or diagrams.”
Alex Leinhardt, Managing Director, Wai-o-tapu Thermal Wonderland.
“Trish was an enormous help to us, especially as we were entering for the first time.
Her experience at writing entries and insights into the industry were definitely beneficial
to the success of our entry. We would have struggled to get the entry finished in time
without Trish managing the timeline for us too!.”
Russell Alexander, Managing Director, Hobbiton Movie Set & Farm Tours.
