Benefits of Using Local Knowledge for Holiday Planning
Planning a holiday is a lot of fun especially if it's somewhere we have been before and are familiar with or perhaps are visiting friends and family in their neck of the woods but sometimes we want to go to a new location and having someone available to offer valuable local knowledge and advice can be a godsend, especially if you are planning a tailor made holiday in New Zealand.
New Zealand is teaming with wonderful places to go and things to do and if you are travelling a long way to get here you want to ensure that you see and do as much as possible to avoid missing out on something and regretting it when you get home.
By choosing a tailor made holiday you can set the tone and pace of the trip, such has what standard of accommodation you would like to stay in, and transportation options, and with the assistance of a local travel consultant you will also be able to ensure that what you are getting the quality and standard that you expect as well as having inside knowledge about events that you may want to attend.
You might choose to start your holiday in one of the many thriving wine regions such as Matakana Coast an hour north of Auckland, or Hawkes Bay which features live entertainment in many of it's world famous vineyards over the summer months or perhaps to Marlborough, best known for its Sauvignon Blanc.
If art and culture are on your list of things to experience then Wellington might well suit you, home to the World of Wearable Art awards and also the national museum, Te Papa Tongarewa which literally translates to 'container of treasures'.
Whilst the word museum might instantly make you think of stuffy old rooms you will be more that pleasantly surprised at this creative and innovative building and the installations inside have been given a modern twist.
You may also be interested in learning more about the cultural history of New Zealand and partaking in some genuine traditional Maori celebrations as well as learning about their history, protocol, and customs.
Immerse yourself by visiting Rotorua, the cultural centre of New Zealand and you'll be treated to new and wonderful experiences, have an opportunity to learn Te Reo Maori (the Maori language), which is part of the New Zealand way of life as many of the country's towns, cities, streets, landmarks, etc have Maori names and it gives you a great insight into the meaning when you can translate those places into English.
