This group of travel agents from New Zealand are visiting the Queensland Sunshine Coast this week, building their destination knowledge ahead of the launch of the new direct Air New Zealand flights to the region from Auckland (TD 23 Feb).
The trial service will commence 01 Jul, with Sunshine Coast Destination Ltd ceo Steve Cooper saying the visit was “a fantastic opportunity to showcase a diverse range of Sunshine Coast facilities and experiences.”
Yesterday the famil included a “mini industry expo” at the See Plus Function Centre in Mooloolaba, bringing together 13 local operators with the visitors for one-on-one appointments, product updates and networking.
The New Zealand agent “Sun Safari” has also been supported by Tourism Queensland.
