Te Puia - Aussie Media Famil





Iconic cultural tourism attraction Te Puia hosted an Australian media famil which was a showcase of the best of the region - and yes, our Aussie colleagues were wowed!! From hideaway hot pools on the banks of Lake Tarawera to a spectacular helipro flight to the summit of Mt Tarawera, our writers were not lacking for content. The roadtrip on the way down from the airport offered a great opportunity to bond with our writers and so by the time we arrived in Rotorua we all knew everything there was to know about each other....a story which even the local paper seemed keen to pick up on - where the media became the story! A lot of fun and a Daily Post was purchased as a keepsake of a fabulous time. The stories are already flowing thick and fast in publications from Queensland to Victoria - thanks Lyn for sharing the fabulous pics and here's to a whole new Australian audience being inspired to travel to one of our top tourism attractions....and a special thanks to the partner operators who just really put the icing on this cake.
