ITC launches new webpage celebrating the rise of New Zealand tourism

ITC has launched a webpage to celebrate and follow the rise of New Zealand tourism.
This year, New Zealand became one of the first countries in the world to beat the virus not just once, but twice. As a result, Kiwis everywhere began to celebrate by doing what we do best – travel.
