Ultimate New Zealand tour on offer, Pass It On

Ultimate New Zealand tour on offer, Pass It On!
Bring the kids home from their OE…and meet their loved ones

It may be the best national tour since Goodbye Pork Pie, and is bound to have a happier ending than the iconic Kiwi movie

The Ex-Pat Reconnaissance Tour – which includes a series of ‘money can’t buy’ experiences such as a private All Black captain’s run, adrenaline blasts from rafting and jet boating in Queenstown, and two nights of luxury at world class Huka Lodge – is being offered as a prize by Pass It On, an initiative developed by Kea New Zealand.

Pass It On aims to use the global community of one million Kiwi expats to connect New Zealand businesses with the rest of the world and provides tools and incentives to do so.

Kea New Zealand Executive Director Ross McConnell says: “The build-up to next year’s massive rugby tournament will see global interest in New Zealand peak, so there is no better time to show off our country’s innovative and creative businesses.”

The four winners of the 9-18th July trip, which is to be drawn on 7 June, will each bring along a non-Kiwi friend who has never been to New Zealand to enjoy a series of ‘uniquely Kiwi’ experiences.

“I’m incredibly jealous of the winners. We want them to really enjoy the trip home and also show their non-Kiwi friends the best New Zealand has to offer so they can spread the word when they return home,” said McConnell.

“Pass It On is all about creating more effective ambassadors for our country and I bet we’ll have eight more willing ambassadors after this tour.”

“Parents should encourage their expat sons or daughters to sign up, especially those on their ‘OE’ who may be too poor or busy to come home. Lovebirds could even bring home their local girlfriend or boyfriend to meet the family for the first time!”

The Expat Reconnaissance Tour is the jewel among $300,000 in prizes available in monthly draws through to October next year including All Blacks test tickets, cases of New Zealand wine, and rounds of championship golf.
