A FAM Trip to (Re)Engage New Zealand Tour Operators

From 19 to 23 October, NCT Australia accompanied several major New Zealand tour operators and two key industry media outlets for a (re)discovery of the destination.

Published on 24 October 2025

Major New Zealand tour operators — Our Pacific, Flight Centre NZ, House of Travel, and Expedia — along with two well-known industry media outlets, Travel Inc Memo and Island Time, (re)discovered New Caledonia during a week-long educational trip. The aim was to strengthen links between local partners and the New Zealand travel trade, and to provide reassurance regarding the availability of tourism offerings across the archipelago.

On the programme:

Mini-workshops at the Sheraton Deva (20/10) and Le Méridien Noumea (22/10), bringing together NCT members from the Bush, the South and the Islands
Site inspections of various accommodation options
Leisure activities

Our thanks go to the partners who supported this familiarisation trip at a key moment for the rebound in this strategic market — including Le Méridien Noumea!

From 16 to 21 November, a group of travel agents will discover the treasures of the West Coast, the capital and the Great South.
