Visit USA New Zealand’s 22-strong delegation of US travel suppliers hit the Kiwi regions last week, hosting events in Palmerston North, Napier, Taupo and Hamilton.
“The events were all about reconnecting with regional travel agents, sharing the latest US travel products and experiences, and inspiring agents with fresh ideas and knowledge to help them sell the USA with confidence,” say the organisers. There was, of course, plenty of fun along the way, including a Kahoot! quiz testing agents’ USA knowledge, and a spin-to-win prize wheel.
