When you work in tourism and are stuck at home in lockdown, you’ve got to get creative to get your message out there, right?
Kiwi tourism guru, Hamish Saxton, is the CEO of Hawke’s Bay Tourism, and like the rest of New Zealand is looking at a year ahead of potentially domestic tourism only.
Saxton knows New Zealand well as the former CEO of Dunedin Tourism he’s got both the South and North Island covered and began a creative campaign on his personal Facebook page which has since gone global.
With good reason. Who knew you could visit so many areas of the country while stuck in your own four walls.
