To attract Indian families to visit New Zealand this summer, Tourism New Zealand announced their collaboration with Malaysia Airlines to promote special travel deals, allowing consumers to explore the many great destinations New Zealand has to offer. Indian arrivals have been on the rise to New Zealand and are currently tracking at 29,920 (+ 5.7 per cent) year end January 2013. This exotic holiday experience can be explored from six departure cities in India including Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore and Hyderabad.

New Zealand offers countless experiences coupled with breathtaking landscapes for Indian families to escape the summer heat. Whether its adventure activities, picturesque getaways, gourmet vegetarian cuisine made from the freshest produce, New Zealand is an ideal destination to break free from the monotonous routine and enjoy a fun filled and safe vacation.
