  Submitted by Charlie on February 12th, 2010
  
  The internet has become the primary means of researching and planning a holiday or activity, so as a tourism operator, it's vital to establish yourself online with an effective web presence. In the current web climate, this means much more than simply having a website. You need to be actively involved in social media, creating an open dialog with past and potential customers.

• Hanmer Springs
  Submitted by wordofmouth on May 2nd, 2012
  Hanmer Springs - Shut your eyes. Imagine lazing in a steamy private hot pool with someone special at New Zealand’s top thermal pool resort – Hanmer Springs. The sun is setting over the picture postcard snow-capped mountains. Not a sound can be heard but the occasional bellbird call. It feels so romantic. But there are more these days to Hanmer than just the busiest hot pools in New Zealand.

  We wobbled back to our Kapitea Ridge Lodge on the hilltop north of Hokitika, plonked ourselves down on the upper deck and didn’t move. Seriously.

We are shading ourselves from the scorching sun under the terracotta tile-roof summer house at a stunning plush luxury lodge - Hope Villa - 20 minutes south east of Christchurch international airport.

• Marlborough Sounds Seafood Bonanza
  Submitted by Charlie on February 10th, 2008
