EaseMyTrip New Zealand MoU aims to boost Indian tourism
Curated travel packages and promotional campaigns planned
Focus on year-round tourism and breaking travel barriers
As part of the collaboration, EaseMyTrip will introduce curated travel packages, seasonal promotional campaigns, and streamlined booking solutions to encourage Indian tourists to explore New Zealand's breathtaking landscapes, adventure tourism, and cultural heritage. The initiative aligns with Tourism New Zealand's vision to boost Indian arrivals by addressing travel barriers and promoting year-round tourism.

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."
Rene de Monchy, Chief Executive of Tourism New Zealand said, "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.''
This partnership comes at a time when Indian outbound travel to New Zealand is witnessing strong growth.
