OVERVIEW

Our Ambassador Programme is an inspiring 3 hours for anyone involved in tourism, hospitality, retail, in fact any business engaging directly with customers, guests and visitors from near and far.
Participants engage in a three-hour workshop covering:

  • History and legends – a walk back in time
  • Geography and locations – those special places and people who have contributed to the region becoming what it is today
  • Connecting with people – across cultures and communities
  • Contributing to a legacy – being an Ambassador for your region

THE PURPOSE

The purpose of Ambassador is for us all to match New Zealand’s incredible landscapes and scenery with a truly world class visitor experience.
During Ambassador you will explore many ways to really connect with people, to enhance visitor experiences, and enable us all to:

  • focus on those little things that cost us nothing to do for people
  • reinforce the value of tourism to all New Zealand
  • equip ourselves with the knowledge to provide incredible experiences
  • create higher yields > maximise opportunities

THE AIM

The overall aim of Ambassador is to build knowledge of stories, history, special places and people within your region to connect and share stories of; to embrace communication by using simple tools to connect with people from other cultures.

A key foundation behind Ambassador is treating people with respect, as we say in New Zealand, embracing the essence of ‘Manaakitanga’ – treating people as if they were guests in your own home.

Ambassador creates confidence to connect and understand people – the very essence of helping people make decisions about buying, engaging, staying in and experiencing a region.
