Free Wi-Fi helps promote Kiwi visitor experience

Marketing / Tourism / Attractions / Technology

Telecom's trial of free Wi-Fi at holiday hotspots around New Zealand is being welcomed by the Tourism Industry Association New Zealand (TIANZ).

Telecom is installing more than 120 free Wi-Fi hotspots at 43 popular holiday locations over summer to help people stay connected via their smartphones, tablets, laptops and other mobile devices.

Welcoming the move, TIANZ Chief Executive Martin Snedden states "we fully support this Telecom trial because it will help improve the holiday experiences of both New Zealanders and our international visitors.

"More and more travellers are taking their mobile devices on holiday with them, to stay in touch with family and friends, and share their holiday experiences. Personal stories about great travel experiences are incredibly important in marketing New Zealand as a visitor destination and free Wi-Fi will encourage more people to share their holiday activities immediately."

All travellers need to sign up for this service is a New Zealand mobile number that can receive TXT messages.
