If you are 18- 36 years old and the company you work for is a Tourism Export Council of New Zealand member, we welcome you to register your interest in joining the new Young Tourism Export Council organisation for important networking and mentoring opportunities. Young Tourism Export Council is free to join and can help you to further your career in the tourism industry. Visit the Young TEC facebook page to see latest news!

Young TEC offers its members regular networking events with other young professionals working in the tourism industry, educational workshops and a mentoring and development programme which gives you the most up-to-date tourism information and tips to take into your own workplace. In 2014, a professional development programme will be developed extending Young TEC members knowledge of the industry and being matched with industry mentors.

Regional coordinators facilitate local networking events like ‘after 5′s and breakfast’ networking functions and annual workshops will be planned around key tourism calendar events. Contact details of regional coordinators will be posted soon but for now contact: young@tourismexportcouncil.org.nz for further information.
