There was a strong turnout for the TAANZ 2026 AGM held at the Intrepid Travel offices in Auckland yesterday.
“Looking ahead, adding member value is at the heart of everything we do,” says TAANZ ceo Julie White. “We are stronger together, and together we will become greater.” As well as the formalities, those attending got an update from senior Wesptac economist Darren Gibbs, and there was a panel discussion from TAANZ’s new strategic platinum partners with representatives from Air New Zealand, Qantas, Singapore Airlines and Viking.
