| New Zealand tourism operators encouraged to woo Chinese | | 2008-04-18 11:41:00 | | In the TNZ-run magazine Tourism News issued on Tuesday, TNZ regional manager for North Asia Mark Frood said many New Zealand tourism operators were waiting to see where the China market was headed. "But we can't afford to wait," he said. "It is moving fast and if New Zealand is not in there, if we don't have a good, solid presence to help the Chinese understand what we are about as a destination, our ability to attract this market will become much more difficult," he said. Tourism New Zealand said New Zealand attracted only 0.6 percent (122,000) of the 39.8 million Chinese who traveled every year. They stayed in New Zealand for three days on average, spent a total of 337 million NZ dollars (265 million U.S. dollars) with an average spending of 3240 NZ dollars, and most were satisfied with their New Zealand holidays.

In fact UNESCO has recognized 3 areas as world’s heritage sites which mean that these places (Tongariro National Park, Te Wahipounamu and the Subantarctic Islands) are considered and recognized as having outstanding natural and cultural value for everyone. Active volcanoes, ancient native forests, prehistoric glaciers, snow-covered Alps have been internationally recognized as irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration.Multi-cultural, diverse, stunning, pristine, young… These are just some of the words used to describe New Zealand. I have a lot of friends, former officemates, who have moved to New Zealand together with their families, to work and live there. They have described the country so beautifully that I begun to develop a romantic affinity over the place. According to them pictures could not even do justice to the beauty of its landscapes. But New Zealand is not just all mountains and landscapes, it has bustling and modern cities as well, which are described as diverse, sophisticated, and multicultural. In fact New Zealand is one of the world’s most favorite travel destinations. There are 3 popular cities Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch.

| Goodbye Tahiti, Hello New Zealand | | 2007-12-09 14:48:01 | | I spent my last night in Tahiti couchsurfing with Sam, though he actually gave me a spare bedroom to myself. With the open windows all the time, rather large roaches are not uncommon. Sam managed to squash two, and I surely injured a third before going to sleep. I didn’t sleep much though being that [...] | | By: GoBackpacking | | |

| Teletech To Get A New Zealand Directory Assistance Account Next Year | | 2007-11-28 02:52:00 | | In mid-2008, Teletech will be opening a new directory assistance account that will serve Kiwi Customers. This early SITEL's call center operations management has announced that their Yellow Pages account will be shutting down because of the client's decision to award the oursourcing contract to call center rival Teletech in the Philippines.Sad news for Palmerston North residents in New Zealand but great news for Filipino call center agents in the Philippines looking for a day-shift job. Since it is still very early, no other news can been dug from this story but my best guess is the account will be located in the newest call center site teletech is developing in Sucat Paranaque. It would likely be a 24/7 operations but with the bulk of the shifts in the morning as New Zealand and the Philippines have very little time difference.To get more updated and follow up news about the latest call centers in the Philippines:Enter your email address:

| New Zealand in a fortnight | | 2007-10-13 15:01:00 | | We are planning to visit some friends in Sydney, and having gone all that way, are looking to then spend a couple of weeks touring New Zealand. We prefer to be in a group (so that we might make some new friends), but do you know of a good tour of the country that would show us the highlights?

| Air New Zealand earns its queer wings | | 2007-10-08 02:19:00 | | It is nigh impossible to resist a man in uniform. Especially if he's performing a cabaret while flying your festive "Pink Plane" straight from the sunny shores of San Francisco to the legendary Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras in Sydney, Australia. The February 26th flight, following what promises to be a memorable "Get-Onboard -Girlfriend" pre-takeoff fete at San Francisco International Airport, is even gay-tuning the inflight entertainment. Drag queens and pink cocktails will stalk the aisles as gay-themed movies, music, and contests fill the 14-hour adventure.
