Consumer marketing<br />

- Competitions on website: win an indulgence cycle package, photo competition<br />

Public relations<br />

- Supply themed editorial and media releases to targeted New Zealand and Australian media<br />

- Pitch story ideas to targeted media (e.g. Wilderness magazine)<br />

- Participate in Tourism NZ’s and Destination <strong>North</strong>land’s international media programme<br />

Destination <strong>North</strong>land<br />

Work closely with Destination <strong>North</strong>land (DNL) and leverage off their domestic and international<br />

marketing activities. Keep DNL up to date with stories, packages, etc, that they can market and<br />

distribute to their trade and media contacts.<br />

Other Industry Partners<br />

Look at opportunities to partner with large tourism operators, e.g. <strong>Full</strong>ers GreatSights, Explore NZ<br />

Rugby World Cup<br />

The timing of the opening of the Cycleway could coincide with the beginning of the 2011 Rugby<br />

World cup. A big national event is planned at Waitangi in September 2011, and the Cycleway could<br />

leverage the opportunity of media and VIP’s in <strong>North</strong>land at the time.<br />

LONG TERM<br />

Review the marketing plan and update as needed. Key items will be to grow the international<br />

market and look at opportunities to encourage the domestic market to return.<br />

With permission, segments of this strategy have been taken from the ‘Round the Mountain’<br />

marketing plan.<br />
