NZ Tourism Awards Pt 3 - Nicole Botting, The Dark Sky Project and The National Kiwi Hatchery

We are super excited to welcome another three awesome finalists in the NZ Tourism Awards 2021 to the show. 

We're joined by Nicole Botting, finalist in the PATA NZ Trust Emerging Leader Award.  A very smart marketer who has made a huge impression in the industry in every role she has had. 

After that, we're joined by Jared Simcox who is the Business Manager at The Dark Sky Project in Tekapo.  The Dark Sky Project is a finalist in the He Kai Kei Aku Ringa Maori Tourism Award.  This is the only place you can go to hear the stories of the stars as told by the local Maori - they are not shared online!

And finally, we welcome the woman with the best job in the world - Emma Bean from the National Kiwi Hatchery in Rotorua.  Emma spends her day caring for kiwi eggs that are brought in from the wild to hatch at the facility - it's a true conservation in action story and it's no surprise they are finalists in the DOC Conservation Award. 

 

Please enjoy the show - and head to our Facebook page www.facebook.com/DestinateNZ to enter our competition to win a Summit Experience for TWO valued at $298 at the Dark Sky Project.  Winners drawn 5th October and announced on the show on 6th October 2021.
