New Zealand is the number one destination for Australians to visit. But what do people need to know before they go?

Whether it is the breathtaking scenery of the Southern Alps viewed from the TranzAlpine train, the geothermal activity and Maori Culture of Rotorua or cruising in the Bay of Islands or Milford Sound, New Zealand has something to offer everyone.

Grand Pacific Tours, the New Zealand Coach Holiday Specialist, will be showcasing the very best of this spectacular destination at the biggest and best Coach Expo to hit town.

Grand Pacific Tours Managing Director Peter Harding said it was an exclusive opportunity to experience some of that famed kiwi hospitality and meet 20 of the country's top travel providers. “There will also be representatives from Tourism New Zealand and Air New Zealand plus the various regions visited,” he said.

Mr Harding invited expo attendees to jump on board, take a seat and experience true comfort as they sat back on the Grand Pacific Tours Gold Class Coach at the expo. “Relax and gaze out the large panoramic windows and imagine touring this beautiful country on a coach holiday,” he said.

“Professional Coach Captains will be on hand to answer your questions and give a first-hand account of the enjoyment all travellers benefit from on our tours.”

For the first time ever, those attending the expo will have an opportunity to experience a taste of Ultimate Small Group Touring by testing the deluxe luxury leather Ultimate seat on display.

Also appearing will be guest speaker Shayne Forrest from Hobbiton Movie Set. Hobbiton is one of New Zealand's most visited attractions and he will take the audience on a journey through the making of The Lord of The Rings Trilogy and The Hobbit films.

Grand Pacific Tours will be offering great one-day only special offers at the expo and will be giving away a tour for two.
