Indigenous New Zealand, a marketing subsidiary of Poutama Trust, is currently exhibiting Maori tourism products at the Arabian Travel Market being held at the Dubai World Trade Centre from May 3 to 6.

It is hoped that it will boost interest in the cultural tourism market. New Zealand provides an opportunity for an authentic Maori tourism experience and this event is a great opportunity to get those service providers to reach a wider market.

It is the first time Maori have participated at the event, with the New Zealand stand being co-ordinated by Tourism New Zealand. Displays will feature eco-cultural adventures, adventure tourism, geothermal attarctions, guided walks, horse treks, fishing, arts and crafts and indigenous food.

International travel buyers and sellers will be coming together at the Dubai travel market to learn about what was on offer for buisness networking, Joint Venture or sale opportunity.
