Tourism New Zealand�s 2003 motivational brochure and revised telephone information lines are launched today to help visitors plan their New Zealand holiday. The brochure and phone lines support Tourism New Zealand�s extensive website, www.newzealand.com, which is already very popular with travellers.

The new 24-page colour brochure contains information on the regions of New Zealand, as well as pages dedicated to themed touring routes, flight times, frequently asked questions and suggested attractions to visit.

Tourism New Zealand�s new information line for UK callers is 09050 60 60 60 and will be charged at the new reduced rate of 60p per minute. The information line will be linked to a live �kiwi� operator in New Zealand and the service is available 24 hours a day. Callers will be able to order the latest brochure free of charge.

The brochure also reminds visitors to keep an eye out for the i-SITE sign when travelling in New Zealand. The country has a large network of official i-SITE visitor information centres providing free and comprehensive local knowledge. And watch out for Qualmark�, Tourism New Zealand�s official quality mark. Any accommodation or tourism business bearing this sign has undergone a rigorous quality assessment process.
