Are you under 40 and want to further your career in the tourism industry?

If you are 40 years or younger, and the company you work for is a Tourism Export Council of New Zealand (TECNZ) member, we welcome you to register your interest in joining YoungTEC for rewarding networking and mentoring opportunities.

YoungTEC offers its members regular networking events with other young professionals working in the tourism industry, educational workshops and a mentoring and development program which gives you the most up-to-date tourism information and tips to take into your own workplace.

Regional networking groups include: Queenstown, Christchurch, Wellington, Central North Island & Auckland.

From April 2023, we will be re-introducing membership fees for YoungTEC. Recognising that these have not been collected for the past two years, we have decided to set the fees at a lower level than pre-Covid, striking the balance of delivering a quality programme whilst providing value-for-money.

For the 2023/2024 membership year (and aligning with TEC’s financial year), these fees are:

  • $50/individual
  • $200/small organisation – capped for up to 10 employees
  • $500/large organisation – capped for up to 20 employees
