New seller packages for TRENZ 2017
New Zealand tourism operators wanting to sell their product internationally are invited to apply for TRENZ 2017, taking place in Auckland from 9th to 12th May next year.
New Zealand’s biggest annual business-to-business tourism and trade event, over four days of appointments, activities and networking functions, more than 250 New Zealand tourism businesses (Sellers) gather to showcase their products and services to more than 350 international travel and tourism Buyers.
TRENZ generates new tourism business worth tens of millions of dollars to New Zealand.
Explaining that seller packages for TRENZ have been revamped for 2017, with new options available for sellers, particularly aimed at smaller businesses who may not have participated in TRENZ before.
Tourism Industry Aotearoa (TIA) Director of Events Emily Byrne explains “we are delighted to introduce a new shared booth option, which allows two operators to share a single space and each have 25 appointments with international Buyers and Media.
“This is a great, cost-effective option for smaller businesses who might not be able to afford to attend TRENZ independently.
“For those businesses wanting more than the basic 51 appointments, but who aren’t yet ready for a full double appointment stream, we have introduced a ‘Single+Half’ option which offers up to 63 pre-scheduled appointments plus extra booth space.
“Of course, the traditional single appointment stream and double appointment stream options are still available.”
New options are also available for Trade Booths. Two booth sizes are on offer and, for the first time, booth holders will be able to formally schedule appointments with Sellers.
Applications for Trade Booths open on 1st November.
A new online appointment scheduling system is also being introduced for TRENZ 2017, which Byrne says will be more flexible and straightforward for users.
In addition, the TRENZ website www.trenz.co.nz has had a facelift, with Byrne explaining “we have created a window into New Zealand, showing a glimpse of the best our country has to offer.
“We are illustrating the diversity of New Zealand’s people and places.”
Seller applications for TRENZ 2017 are open until 5pm, 18th November.
TRENZ is managed by TIA on behalf of the Tourism Industry New Zealand Trust. TRENZ is supported by Tourism New Zealand, Air New Zealand and other industry partners.
