Southland Media Programme

The Great South tourism team hosts a number of media familiarisations throughout the year. Our independent media programme works primarily with domestic media; however, we are happy to hear from international media and will judge the opportunities available on their merit.

We also work closely with Tourism New Zealand (TNZ) through their International Media Programme (IMP). For more information or to request a place in the Tourism New Zealand International Media Programme, please contact the media team.
