Tourism New Zealand boosts global sales with Tōtara Learn
Discover how Tourism New Zealand boosts global sales with a Tōtara Learn platform used in 28 markets worldwide.
Over the last 18 years, Tourism New Zealand has marketed New Zealand as a tourist destination through the 100% Pure New Zealand marketing campaign.
Opportunity
Tourism New Zealand needed a global digital platform, available worldwide in multiple languages for the 100% Pure New Zealand specialist programme to train and enable travel sellers to maximise New Zealand’s tourist attraction.
The trade team needed to track enrolled travel sellers’ progress and performance in real time and across markets. Usability had to be intuitive and straightforward to encourage sellers to track their progress within the learning programme.
Solution
Tōtara Learn has improved travel seller expertise, globally boosting Tourism Zealand’s sales across 28 markets. With over 12,000 active learners and over 50,000 completed modules in the last 12 months alone. Tourism New Zealand uses a highly customised and adapted Tōtara Learn site with extensive configuration to implement their online training across markets and languages.
As learners progress through the platform’s programme tiers of bronze, silver, and gold, specialists are presented with logos and certificates to motivate and encourage users throughout their experience.
Market managers are presented with a KPI dashboard to track their performance, alongside comparing their performance against others, with figures generated from data courses as fields, custom fields, and external databases.
“Catalyst’s advanced delivery of Tōtara Learn has improved our global training programme and there has been a significant reduction in seller and manager performance enquiries.”
Paul Trowell, Trade Development Manager, Tourism New Zealand.
Results
This Tōtara Learn is accessible, intuitive and straightforward. Users register online and are presented with appropriate language-based content from the information they provide. Configuration involved 185 audiences, over 50 dashboards, 100 certifications, and nine languages.
