Neighbourly move leads to NZ travel opportunities!

Carole Garnham from Go4iT Travel - Carole Garnham

Go4iT Travel in conjunction with Innovative Travel has a new series of New Zealand coach tours, targeted at the 45-plus age group, in collaboration with inbound specialist Terra Nova, launching under the Inspired NZ label. Innovative Travel managing director, Robyn Galloway, says these new tours have come about literally by neighbourly collaboration and are a positive example of how companies can come together to face new challenges. Each tour is guaranteed to depart with a minimum of six clients. ‘Some travellers are feeling fearful and some have lost their confidence to travel. This is a way to get on the road again. We expect demand from couples, friends and solo travellers.’ Galloway says she expects the Winterless North, with the first tour departing Auckland on 16 August, priced from $1,580 ex Auckland share twin, to have great appeal to the domestic market, and to those seeking slightly warmer weather. Highlights include Paihia and Cape Reinga, Puketi Kauri Forest, Waitangi Treaty Grounds and a cruise to the Brett Peninsula. The six-day West Coast Wonder, first Neighbourly move leads to NZ opportunities for Go4iT travel to offer tours departing on 1 November, ex Christchurch which has more of a scenic focus, with visits to Hanmer Springs, Greymouth and Fox Glacier before returning to Christchurch. A helicopter flight over Fox Glacier is included in the tour price. Christchurch, Queenstown and the Lupins, a seven-day tour ex Christchurch, first departs on 21 November. ‘It is great to have the opportunity for New Zealander to comfortably see their onw country".
