TRENZ

Held in Wellington, this Tourism Industry Aotearoa run event was superb. Destination Hauraki Coromandel (DHC), alongside Driving Creek, had two full days of quality appointments - we are now in follow up mode. Watch this video for a great overview of what TRENZ is all about.

Already we’ve received enquiries from operators keen to attend next years trade shows such as:

• eXplore (cost effective entry to introduce and/or maintain connections with the Inbound Travel Agents)
• TRENZ (business growth investment via the Inbound Travel Operators and Wholesale Trade)

If you’re interested in selling your product internationally, but don’t know where to begin, here’s a good place to start. Working in the trade space can take 3 to 5 years to establish stong business connections. If you’re uncertain don’t hesitate to touch base with DHC. Please note we’re currently following up leads and product support for multiple businesses which takes time,  we will be in touch.
