‘Good Morning
World’ from Waikato
goes global
Abseiling into one of New Zealand’s
deepest caves, visiting our world-famous
movie set and experiencing our magical
glowworms are just some of ‘The Mighty
Waikato’ attractions featuring in Tourism
New Zealand’s new global campaign.
Tourism New Zealand
global campaign
launched on 1 July
under the banner of ‘100%
Pure New Zealand Welcome’
that showcases what makes
Aotearoa special and unique
through our warm and welcoming
people.
For 366 days, a different
video message from locals
around the country saying
“Good Morning World” from
their favourite tourism spot or
experience will be released on
social media channels.
The Mighty Waikato has
had extensive exposure in the
campaign which has featured
a ‘good morning world’ message
from friendly faces at
Waitomo Adventures, Hobbiton
Movie Set and Waitomo
Glowworm Caves so far, with
a number of other Waikato
locals and locations to follow.
The campaign is being
shown in New Zealand’s
largest international visitor
market, Australia, as well as
China, India, the United Kingdom,
US/Canada, Germany,
Brazil, Argentina, Japan, Singapore
and Korea.
Having Waikato featured
throughout the Good Morning
World campaign is a fantastic
way to showcase the region
and our people on a global
stage and help inspire more
travellers to visit our part of
the country.
Highlighting our region’s
iconic and emerging attractions
reinforces they are a
‘must-do’ on international
travellers’ itineraries when
visiting New Zealand.
International visitor expenditure
and guest nights continue
to increase for the region
and Tourism New Zealand’s
global campaign will no doubt
further enhance this trend.
We are already seeing
Waikato securing first and last
nights for international visitors
and we encourage visitors
to explore more lesser-known
parts of our region to deliver
wider economic, social and
cultural benefits for our community.
Waikato businesses and
residents are also encouraged
to create their own video and
share their favourite place
with the world.
“Think everyday locations,
your local café, your dog walking
spot, your favourite beach
or even your local pie shop
– we want to capture classic
Kiwi life and what makes it
so special,” says Tourism New
Zealand chief executive Stephen
England-Hall.

World video in three easy
