Inbound Members

Tourism Export Council of New Zealand Inbound Members are inbound tour operators who provide a vital link between the suppliers of New Zealand tourism product and the overseas travel companies which buy it. As specialists in inbound tourism, Inbound Members promote and sell New Zealand travel packages to offshore buyers such as wholesalers, travel agents, meeting planners and event managers.

All Inbound members must be Qualmark endorsed with our own set of criteria and this includes using at least 75% of suppliers who are also Qualmark endorsed in the various categories. In March 2012 an exclusive ‘tourism export council inbound tour operator’ mark was developed and non TECNZ members are not able to promote themselves off-shore with Tourism New Zealand  as a ‘qualmark endorsed inbound tour operator’. We see this new endorsement as a significant marketing advantage over other ITO’s who are not members but operating in New Zealand

The Tourism Export Council works closely with the Department of Conservation (DOC) on delivering sustainable managed visits to the DOC estate with their passengers. Inbound tour operators have approved “guiding concession status’ which gives confidence and added value to offshore clients and agents wishing to work with an inbound tour operator.

Allied Supplier Members

Tourism Export Council of New Zealand Allied Members are New Zealand tourism product and service suppliers who ‘deliver the experience’ to our overseas visitors. Allied Members sell through Tourism Export Council Inbound Members to overseas wholesalers, tour operators and travel agents.
