| Inside Tourism is dedicated to New Zealand inbound and domestic tourism. IT, as it is affectionately known, was founded by travel photo journalist Nigel Coventry in 1994 and since then has grown in stature and respect for its timely, accurate and independent coverage of industry news, views and information. Inside Tourism is read by major international organisations such as the Pacific Asia Travel Association and the United Nations World Travel Organisation as well as all New Zealand national travel and tourism organisations, the CEOs and managers of all airlines, coach companies, rental car firms, hotel chains and other accommodation providers, as well as RTOs, MRTOs, attractions and activity operators - and even PM John Key! IT is distributed every Wednesday night to more than 4,500 readers throughout the industry in New Zealand and 17 of our overseas markets. Inside Tourism reports fairly, accurately and timely fresh news and information for the benefit of its subscribers and their businesses/ areas of interest. We are apolitical and do not take sides other than being pro-tourism and strong advocates of TIA, ITOC and other national travel and tourism associations. We particularly support smaller businesses being, as they are, the backbone on the industry. |
Inside Tourism was launched on January 21, 1994 and was immediately embraced by the industry. How it happened... In 1982 award-winning editor Nigel Coventry became PRO for the then Tourist and Publicity Department (now Tourism New Zealand) after 20 years in radio, TV and print media in the UK, Monaco, Australia and Brunei. Today, there is so much happening in the industry that IT is now consists of between 12 and 15 pages, necessitating the need for an Executive Summary for the subscribers who now almost all take the publication by email.
