EaseMyTrip has announced a new Memorandun of Understanding (MoU) with Tourism New Zealand. The partnership aims to simplify travel access, introduce curated experiences, and promote New Zealand as a year-round destination for Indian travellers.
Strengthening Travel Connections Between India and New Zealand
EaseMyTrip’s partnership with Tourism New Zealand comes at a time of growing Indian outbound travel to the island nation. The MoU is set to reduce travel barriers, offer exclusive packages, and launch seasonal campaigns tailored to Indian tourists’ preferences.
EaseMyTrip will also streamline booking solutions and craft immersive experiences highlighting New Zealand’s landscapes, adventure tourism, and cultural heritage, supporting Tourism New Zealand’s aim to make the country a top international destination.
Curated Travel Packages for Indian Tourists
The partnership is set to introduce a range of travel packages designed specifically for Indian travellers. These offerings will emphasise experiences that cater to Indian preferences, from adventure tourism to cultural exploration.
EaseMyTrip’s Chairman & Founder, Nishant Pitti, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration, stating,
“New Zealand is a paradise for nature lovers, offering a mesmerising blend of scenic landscapes, adventure, and rich cultural heritage. Through this collaboration, Indian travellers get the chance to explore the ‘Land of the Long White Cloud’ with ease and convenience. We are excited to bring exclusive travel experiences that allow Indian tourists to immerse themselves in New Zealand’s beauty while ensuring seamless bookings and affordability.”
Tourism New Zealand Focuses on Indian Market Growth
Tourism New Zealand sees the partnership as a vital step in sustaining the growing interest among Indian travellers. Rene de Monchy, Chief Executive of Tourism New Zealand, highlighted the importance of the Indian market, saying,
“India is one of New Zealand’s fastest growing markets, with holiday visitor numbers experiencing double-digit growth, and huge potential to keep growing. The travel trade has been integral in shaping holiday visitor flows and building desire for New Zealand as a premium destination for discerning travellers. We are focused on enhancing these commercial partnerships and through improved connectivity and strategically targeted high-impact marketing campaigns, we are keen to convert this interest into bookings and visitation.”
Encouraging Year-Round Tourism for Indian Travellers
The MoU is set to encourage Indian tourists to visit New Zealand during the autumn, winter, and spring seasons, aligning with India’s peak holiday periods. The collaboration seeks to increase visitor numbers and optimise tourism revenue by promoting travel during off-peak times.
EaseMyTrip, listed on the NSE and BSE, is expanding its international footprint, cementing its reputation as a leading travel agency for Indian tourists. Both EaseMyTrip and Tourism New Zealand expect an increase in Indian visitors, making travel between the two countries more accessible and appealing.
