‘New Zealand is Open’
Following the devastating earthquake in Christchurch last month, Tourism New Zealand have launched an earthquake recovery campaign to remind travellers that ‘New Zealand is Open’ and is still a great place to visit. Far from minimising the gravity of the situation in Christchurch, the message simply shows that visiting New Zealand now is the best way people can show their support for the country’s second largest city, as the long process of rebuilding begins.
This is certainly not just a message being promoted by TNZ, but by many in New Zealand’s vital travel sector, including us. A group of Kiwi travel bloggers have organised Blog4NZ, a three day event, ending today, encouring bloggers around the world to write about their experiences travelling to New Zealand and in so doing promote others to visit now more than ever.
New Zealand is still a magical destination with so many experiences on offer from the twin coasts of Northland to the rugged wilds of Southland. It is not exageration to say that every region has something to suprise and entice.
The message is simple and the sentiment genuine – ‘Come and have some fun!’.
