Advertising on this website

This website was re-launched with a completely new ‘look and feel’ in January 2008. Its new imagery, updated content and new innovations have earned the site lots of very positive feedback.

We believe the new site offers our stakeholders added value in a number areas; value that will continue to grow  with the upcoming addition of self-editable listings and monthly traffic stats reports (available on premium listings only), on-site itinerary planning and a new inter-active ‘Share your Rotorua Experience’ area.

The past 12 months have also seen the launch of new three new stand-alone foreign language sites, Japanese, Korean and Spanish, to complement our Chinese language website. DRTM has received a number of commendations from TNZ staff and overseas agents on the value of having these sites in their markets. A French language site is expected to be operational before the end of 2008.
