Air New Zealand Launches "Calling All Travelers" Destination New Zealand Campaign including Chance to Win Ultimate Travelers Vacation

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 18, 2015 /CNW/ -- Today, Air New Zealand launched its "Calling All Travelers" campaign, celebrating the unique experiences that await not only in New Zealand, but also throughout the journey on Air New Zealand.

The airline has produced a stunning online video that opens with sweeping views of the country's picturesque fjords. Viewers are then treated to glimpses of signature New Zealand experiences including a trip to the real life Hobbiton, parachuting from rolling hillsides, golfing amongst rugged mountains and biking through vast plains.

"New Zealand is a magical place with a bounty of activities that appeal to 'true travelers,'" says Air New Zealand Vice President of the Americas Chris Myers. "Our 'Calling All Travelers' campaign and corresponding video captures the essence of the travel these individuals seek and illustrates what is possible in New Zealand."

Additionally, Air New Zealand is inviting travelers to build their own personalized itineraries for a chance to win the ultimate traveler vacation in New Zealand. The prize includes two round-trip Economy class tickets from Los Angeles or San Francisco to Auckland (for the U.S. winner) or from Vancouver to Auckland (for the Canadian winner), plus one domestic flight for two while in New Zealand, four night's accommodation (courtesy of Tourism New Zealand) and two activities from the winners' itineraries (chosen by Air New Zealand). Entries open on February 17 and close March 31.
