Explore the New Zealand Independent FAM Program
For a limited time, get $700 in trip credit when you visit New Zealand utilizing the Explore program.
What Is the Explore New Zealand Program?
Tourism New Zealand, with the support of Qualmark New Zealand tourism businesses, extends an invitation to you, our valued international travel trade, to experience Aotearoa New Zealand on the ultimate self-FAM.
Explore is a travel industry discount program that allows you and your travel companion to curate your own Aotearoa New Zealand itinerary through discounts generously provided by Qualmark tourism businesses and airline partners (Air New Zealand, Qantas, and Fiji Airways).
Discounts offered are typically free of charge, or between 30% - 50% off and are usually extended to your travel companion.
You choose when to travel (blackout periods apply between December and February), what regions and operators to visit, and then can experience Aotearoa New Zealand at your own pace.
What Are the Benefits of Using Explore?
Flexibility: A self-FAM gives you the flexibility to visit Aotearoa New Zealand at a time that suits you. You are encouraged to travel between March and November.
Stay longer: You can spend up to 30 days in Aotearoa New Zealand on a self-FAM. Unlike a hosted FAM with specific departure dates, you can decide when to travel and how long to stay for.
Choose your experiences: A self-FAM allows you to construct your own itinerary, meaning you can visit the regions and operators that you want to see.
New connections: Make new connections with Qualmark tourism operators to enable you to build curated itineraries for your clients.
