India-based online travel platform EaseMyTrip has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Tourism New Zealand to make it easier for Indian tourists to travel to New Zealand.

The hassle-free travel booking process will ease the travel arrangements for Indian tourists in New Zealand. However with an aim to increase visitor numbers from India and also work towards realising the dream of travel year-round, Tourism New Zealand is now reducing barriers to travel. The partnership will promote travel to New Zealand during the autumn, winter and spring seasons in the country and during important Indian holidays.

He said the travel sector plays a large part in creating demand for New Zealand as a premium destination internationally. Improved travel connectivity and high-impact marketing campaigns are aimed at strengthening commercial partnerships, according to Tourism New Zealand.

The aim is between increasing interest shown by Indian travelers into confirmed bookings and real visits to New Zealand. Pursuing its global expansion strategy and bolstering its foot-hold in the international travel segments, the MoU establishes EaseMyTrip in this domain.

Based on the air ticket bookings, EaseMyTrip ranks as one of India’s largest travel platforms, per Crisil Report (February 2021) on India’s OTA industry.

Personalized travel packages tailored to Indian travelers are now available. The initiative seeks to increase New Zealand travel through enhancing connectivity, affordability and accessibility, driving higher levels of engagement and resultant bookings. This partnership is likely to further enhance their global travel connections and accelerate tourism development in both countries.
