Everyone should go to New Zealand at least once

A visit to New Zealand, according to New Yorker Jennie Gale,  should be on everyone’s bucket list.

Jennie Gale, Assistant Editor at <em>The Tab</em> writes:

The Tab says it is a platform for the most talented young journalists to report and write, professionally and independently.

“We are a new kind of news network – a bottom-up organization that favors originality over rehashed content, reporting over lists, and realizes that newspapers and TV networks suck so much at reporting on young people that young people now deserve to do it themselves. Our coverage is run by young editors locally and backed up by our newsrooms in London and New York, which support and train Tab reporters.”

 Jennie provides several headline reasons why New Zealand is a must-see.

• You have to see it to believe it
• Nowhere else has bigger or bluer skies
• Two islands for the price of one
• Magical Milford Sound will make you feel insignificant
• It’s the adrenaline junkies dream
• One word – Queenstown
• Every horizon is Instagram worthy
• World-famous trees, 90-mile beaches, and the planet’s steepest street
• The Great Walks are unbeatable
• Go and see the glaciers before they’re gone
• The winterless North
• You get all of the land and sea wildlife and none of the creepy crawlies
• Mountains, volcanoes, and lakes – oh my
• It’s the home of Lord of the Ring.

She finished with the line:

“Do it, book your flight. It’s time to get lost in the right direction.”

For others looking for great images of NZ,

Tourism New Zealand has created The Visual Library, an online resource library to help promote New Zealand as a Tourism destination.

Tourism NZ’s Visual Library is a collection of images (photography, video, and graphics) of and about New Zealand to be used in the promotion of New Zealand as a tourist destination.  The images have been provided by a huge range of talented photographers and partners across the country. 

The Visual Library is built and operated by Brandkit, a New Zealand headquartered software company specialising in brand and image libraries for tourism and place branding organisations.

If you’re promoting New Zealand as a tourist destination, you can download for free, professionally produced images, video, and infographic resources - and it’s free to do so provided you’re promoting New Zealand tourism and follow the terms of use and abide by any licence and usage rules.

Happy days :)
