Tourism NZ's latest ad focuses on how Kiwis treat their guests

November 1, 2018

The advert uses Te Reo Māori to promote Aotearoa.

Tourism NZ has partnered up with National Geographic to capture what makes us different from the rest - and it isn't our natural landscapes or snow-capped mountains.

What brings in 3.8 million tourists every year isn't just the sights and sounds, but our 'manaakitanga' - our hospitality.

National Geographic's Andrew Nelson said: "We're in beautiful places a lot, but I think what's really important to understand about New Zealand [is] it's not just the place - it's the people".

Seven Sharp's Tamati Rimene-Sproat went down to Rotorua to find out more in the video above.
