Tahiti Tourisme spent last week on the road hosting a series of events in partnership with Air Tahiti Nui, with this including an Auckland roadshow and workshop, offering agents the chance to meet face to face with more than 30 Tahitian tourism partners.
Tahiti Tourisme ANZ account director Caroline Brunel says some operators were visiting for the first time. With an increase in seasonal flights ex Auckland, Brunel says the NTO’s Tahitian partners are excited to see an increase in inbound tourism from this market, and invites more Kiwis ‘to feel treasured in the islands of Tahiti’.
Several Tahitian Specialist agents won prizes from Tahitian pearls, to famils and Tahitian holidays. Among those in attendance were representatives from Inter- Continental Bora Bora Resort, Hilton Tahiti, and the soon-to-open Bloody Mary’s Hotel Bora Bora, Vahine Private Island and Marama Tours. Variety, Ponant and Windstar cruises as well as Air Moana and Air Tahiti attended. See more on Tahiti Tourisme and to become a Tahitian Specialist HERE. For pics from the event, see HERE.
