tourism

As key drivers within one of New Zealand's leading industries, successful tourism operators require a diverse skill set. From the development of resorts to the management of motels; examining the environmental impact of a new development to safeguarding staff members and customers – every facet of a successful tourism business is the result of careful preparation and planning.

It's also the way we like to work at Brookfields.

The Fair Trading Act 1986 - 9 Checkpoints for Compliance

  • Vetting advertising and marketing materials

Advertising is a major marketing tool for tourism operators. It is essential that advertisers be aware of their responsibilities under the Fair Trading Act in relation to their claims. Brookfields' Tourism team has developed an 'advertising do's and don'ts' checklist to assist our tourism clients in complying with this Act. This guide is for general information only and we strongly suggest you seek advice about tailoring any compliance programme to your particular business needs.
