About Us

The New Zealand Travel Collective is the brainchild of experienced tourism sales and marketing professional Trish May.

Goal

Trish’s goal is to present the very best of New Zealand’s visitor experiences to international markets via specialist travel agents, inbound tour agents, travel advisors, and travel re-sellers.

The New Zealand Travel Collective is a bespoke grouping of complementary tourism activities, attractions, visitor transportation and accommodation.

History

It all began during pandemic times, at which time New Zealand’s borders were closed to international visitors.

Trish considered that travel in the future would be tricky; so many rules and regulations likely as the globe began to ‘live with Covid’ and travel again. With this in mind Trish was convinced that the skills and expertise travel advisors offer would be in high demand.

The New Zealand Travel Collective is totally focused on keeping travel agents, travel advisors and travel re-sellers up to date on products within the Collective.

Background

Trish has been part of the tourism industry for………..well 30 + years! She as been involved in sales and marketing roles during those decades, having started in Rotorua in the early 1990’s.

Whilst based in NZ, Trish has proudly represented tourism regularly at international sales missions, like Kiwilink North America in July 2022 (photo above).
