The agent famil is over and fingers crossed we now have some converts to seeing what a beautiful piece of paradise we have here in Southern Coromandel including Waihi Beach.
There were initial comments like - "we did not realise how much there was to see and do, we had always sent our clients north, we sent our clients direct to Rotorua" - and more, so may be our timing was spot on and our goal of making agents responsible for bringing visitors to the region aware of what's on offer was achieved. However the proof of the pudding will be in the eating - we will watch with interest.
The agents were hosted in 3 quality properties courtesy of Southern Coromandel Lodges plus most had a Harley experience courtesy of Bularangi Harley Tours and at the same time saw snippets of Southern Coromandel.
We took in the Martha mine, Waihi Beach and the Karangahake gorge and we arranged presentations to them from both the Hauraki Rail Trail and the Gold Discovery centre in Waihi on progress with the respective activities - more pieces of the jigsaw coming together to make Southern Coromandel a strong offer for prospective visitors.
