Rationale for name change: 2012

  • 1. To improve profile with members and industry
  • 2. Inform some operators in industry that they are

involved in the ‘tourism export sector’

  • 3. Keep upper mind that tourism is a valuable export

industry with local, regional & national government

  • 4. Start the ‘culture shift’ of the average New

Zealander in appreciating what tourism means to

  • ur communities and employment opportunities

Tourism, like agriculture is one of New Zealand’s biggest income earners. Both are export industries because they bring in foreign dollars to New

  • Zealand. With agriculture, you grow an apple, send it offshore and a foreigner

eats it. A clear pathway of a New Zealand product consumed or purchased by someone overseas. Tourism works slightly differently:

  • The product is still developed in NZ (just like the apple)
  • It is sold offshore (like the apple)
  • It is purchased by a foreigner (again like the apple)
  • BUT it is experienced in NZ and therein lies the difference.

IRD’s definition of ‘export’ is a non resident who purchases products or services from New Zealand. It is important that people understand tourism’s role in bringing in foreign earnings to New Zealand and its contribution to the economy as an export industry .

Why is tourism considered an export industry?

  • The regional tourism indicators (RTI) measure the

change in level of expenditure of both international and domestic travellers in New Zealand by region.

  • The data is based on electronic card transactions

but excludes cash spending or withdrawls from ATMs or banks

  • Phase 3 will include detailed category spend.
  • eg. Chinese who buy shoes in Wellington or

driving through Tekapo and gets petrol Mention: RTE’s - estimates

Managing the Business Mix

When each commission level is considered, it may seem that agents receive a large proportion of your takings, eroding your profits. It is important to consider the volume

  • f

international business coming from each channel as a percentage of your total business, as well as the benefits of working with the international travel distribution system. Your trade distribution strategy should allow for a business mix which will meet your volume and profit targets. The diagram below shows how a commission structure could work. If the supplier honours pricing as per the distribution system and the supplier receives an equal one third of their business from ITO’s, wholesalers and direct from consumers, the average commission works out at 16.67 per cent.

ITOs have hundreds of downstream relationships with off-shore travel agents. They will do your international marketing for you. Working with an ITO can bring you:

  • bulk bookings & repeat business
  • on-going (series) bookings
  • conference & event bookings
  • confidence if any adversity should occur eg. Chc
  • enjoyment being part of the tourism industry

Benefits of working with an ITO

slide-21
SLIDE 21

Do your homework:  Work with your RTO who will work with ITOs  Visit their website/brochures - check their itineraries ahead of time to determine:  Who are their customers? Check their age and if any cultural considerations  How long do they spend in your area and what do they do?  How many passengers per group or are they FIT/SIT customers?

Know their business before you tell them about your business!
