This one-day event is a unique opportunity for tourism communications professionals to share ideas, build capability and network among their peers.
“Welcoming, supportive communities are a vital part of what New Zealand has to offer our visitors. With the rapid growth in tourism, we want to ensure that the industry protects and enhances its social licence to operate. An important way to achieve this is to share positive stories about how tourism is benefitting our communities and environment,” TIA Communications Manager Ann-Marie Johnson says.
Part of the day will be dedicated to lessons from other sectors, including Federated Farmers and the seafood and dairy industries. Presentations on storytelling and emotional engagement will be supported by advice from media professionals on what kind of content they are looking for and how to make a successful pitch.
Media pannelists will include Sunday Star-Times editor Tracy Watkins, Tourism Ticker publisher Paul Yandall and freelance journalist/Tourism Storyteller Sue Hoffart.
