Matt Wood, New South Wales Kirra Holidays rep alongside Mrs Olivia Atkinson, Ms Amie Oneill and Ms Emma Harding

Leading New Zealand wholesaler Kirra Holidays once again joined forces with supplier United Campervans in order to raise awareness of the flexibility and affordability of a Motorhome holiday in New Zealand. Kirra’s Sales Manager Nona Jackson Pinel comments “we are fortunate to have the opportunity to get a bit of genuine kiwi hospitality in front of our Australian agents in the form of a premium product like United Campervans; the response from agents and consumers alike has been fantastic”.

Following the participation in several major consumer travel expos around Australia, Kirra Holidays own business development managers have each had the opportunity to drive one of United’s brand new 4 berth vehicles around the country to use as a training tool for their travel agents. The vehicle has most recently been in New South Wales and the girls from Gilpin Travel Management in Dubbo spent an informative morning with their rep Matt Wood being shown through the vehicle and picking up top tips on how to package up a fantastic self drive holiday to New Zealand. Director of Gilpin Travel Management Dubbo, Angela Graesser and her team were extremely impressed with the Motorhome and in particular how affordable self driving holidays have become making it an ideal travel option for everyone from the independent traveller to families.  “Being able to see the vehicle first hand is a fantastic opportunity for the consultants to experience the motorhome on behalf of their clients.  It truly is travelling in style and what better way to explore the wonders of New Zealand!”.

Despite February’s devastating earthquake in Christchurch, Kirra Holidays has continued to drive the message home to agents that New Zealand is still very much open for business. The Motorhome promotion will run through to July and agents who have not yet had the opportunity to see for themselves should contact their local Kirra Holidays rep for further info.
