DAE Boosting NZ Tourist Numbers from Chinese Vacation Ownership Market
Orlando, FL, November 15, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Leading worldwide vacation exchange provider, DAE, has delivered a boost to New Zealand tourism with an increase in visitation from Chinese Vacation Ownership members on exchange.
The news follows the release of the Statistics New Zealand 2013 Tourism Satellite Report that found the number of Chinese visitors to New Zealand increased by more than 30 percent in the 12 months to March 2013, along with a $213 million rise in international visitor expenditure.
Now identified as the biggest growth market for the country’s inbound tourism industry, Gary Fog, DAE’s Business Development Manager for Australia and New Zealand said the opportunity to maximise Chinese visitation and expenditure in New Zealand was through greater exchange options.
“The Chinese Vacation Ownership market is set to be the largest in the world,” said Mr Fog. “In the past 12 months, we’ve seen the vacation exchange model work particularly well in delivering Chinese Vacation Ownership members to key destinations such as New Zealand.
Mr Fog said Chinese tourists were attracted to the natural appeal and charm of New Zealand as a vacation destination, offering an array of world-class sights, activities, shopping, restaurants and accommodation.
Head of DAE China, Yang Chen said DAE China has seen a demand for more and more members to travel to New Zealand for vacation, independently through DAE exchange and in groups on organized tours through their Vacation Club partners.
“Chinese travelers are very drawn to New Zealand as a destination,” said Mr Chen. “The landscape shown by The Lord of The Rings movies is just fabulous, and they also have Tourism Ambassador, Yao Chen, a famous Chinese actress, who welcomes many of her fans to come to this peaceful paradise. It is a place so close to nature with breathtaking views.”
Chinese Vacation Club UVC commenced operating New Zealand tours in 2009 and has since developed a wide selection of travel routes to meet the growing demand. Now they organize member tours to New Zealand at least twice a year, with groups of no less than 10 families each time.
“When they return, many members speak very highly of their time in New Zealand,” added Mr Chen. “From the city of Napier in the north, to the most famous scenic spot, Lake Taupo, and all the way down to idyllic Queenstown in the south, the surrounding beautiful views are refreshing and unforgettable.
“The getaway trip to New Zealand enlightens them to a new lifestyle that totally differs from China’s hustle and bustle, and creates lifelong memories for the whole family.”
Mr Fog said the increase in Chinese visitation was being welcomed by New Zealand Timeshare Resorts, some of which were even adding Chinese signage to improve the visitor experience and make their stay more enjoyable.
