Become a preferred operator

We love sharing the best of New Zealand tourism with our members and readers – this is something we do though our ‘preferred operator’ programme.

If you have an amazing tourism product and would like to be placed in front of engaged readers and members, many of which are ready to purchase, we’d love to talk to you.

In exchange for targeted, personalised promotion, we ask that you support our community by offering a discount and commission. We consider it a win-win for everyone involved!

We connect our members and readers with the best tourism operators in the country – might you be next?

Why Would I Want to Offer a Promo Code to NZTT Members?

You get the promo code brownie points

To be featured in our communities, we ask for a promo code to pass on to our members/readers.

We let our community know that this discount has very kindly been passed on from you, so you get the kudos for supporting NZTTers.

We actively promote your products based on member requests.

We have post-approval turned on in our Facebook group. This allows us to stay on top of member requests for information and to respond accordingly.

For example, should someone want ideas about the best things to do in Rotorua, we jump right in and recommend our local operators.

This personalised service allows us to connect our preferred operators with members seeking information.

Secret Spot Hot Tubs has found working with NZTT and Sarah an enjoyable and mutually beneficial experience. Sarah is proactive, engaging and works hard to achieve results, while her follow up and comms are spot on. NZTT has assisted New Zealanders in exploring their own back yard by bringing gems like Secret Spot Hot Tubs to her followers to enjoy. May kiwis continue to have good times in great places with NZTT.

We consistently convert bookings

We have a proven track record of referring bookings to our operators.

I get so many new websites and agents approaching me, most of which I’d get none or a couple bookings from, and it’s so awesome to see the results we are getting from NZTT – it’s really working! 😊

We don’t charge any upfront fees to be featured and promoted through the group or website.

There is no upfront charge to be included as a preferred operator on the New Zealand Travel Tips website or to be featured in our Facebook groups.

If we don’t convert bookings, you won’t be charged a cent.

We charge a reasonable commission on confirmed bookings.

We only charge commission on confirmed bookings (based on the gross rate).

If we do not convert bookings for you, you will not be charged – it’s as simple as that.

In the meantime, you’ll benefit from amazing brand recognition within our group and on our website.

We work with your existing booking system.

We have experience in successfully connecting to Rezdy, FareHarbor, IBIS and many other systems.

All we need from you is the ability to set a promo code/discount code.

Let us know the booking system you’re already using and we’ll make magic happen.

This saves you from having to run duplicate calendars, making life easy for both yourselves and your guests.

Thank you… the information shared by this group has been vital in the planning of our itinerary for our trip in December this year 🙌

You get paid upfront and capture leads directly

As the business operator, you do the hard work and we believe you deserve to be paid for that upfront.

Unlike those big booking platforms, we don’t collect payment from customers – you do.

When you work with us, you won’t need to wait 90 days to get payment. Instead, you’ll be paid upfront, like you would for any direct booking.

We just invoice once a month for any commission payable.

We think that’s the farest way to operate.

We can create copy on your behalf or work with your marketing team.

Our experienced team is on hand ready to create engaging copy on your behalf, or we are happy to work alongside your marketing team to use content created in-house.

The choice is yours!

We use best-practice SEO to target relevant keywords, ensuring our guides and posts are seen

We stay on top of the ever-evolving world of SEO and include you in relevant blog posts.

If we write about the best things to do in your region, you’ll be included there and introduced to a whole new audience.

If you feel you’d be a good fit for NZTT, please get in touch!
