Just the other week our Travel Level 3 students set out on their first field trip – Rotorua!
Their itinerary included a visit to Rotorua International Airport where they got a tour behind the scenes of customs and immigration followed by a presentation by the Rotorua Airport Business Development Manager, Manager of Air New Zealand Operation for Rotorua Airport and the Head of the Airport Fire Department. Next stop was Paradise valley springs where the students got up close and personal with Lions and a cute cub:) Later that night we headed out to Mitai, an awesome Maori Cultural experience set in stunning scenery. Story telling, a cultural performance followed by a yummy hungi rounded off the night.
Day 2 saw the students start their day at Agroventures where they learnt the importance of Adventure Tourism in New Zealand and also got to test their nerves on some extreme activities, Leoni (tutor) even braved the Swoop and showed the students what a real SCREAM sounds like! Next stop, Hotel Ibis and Novotel Rotorua for a hotel inspection…..and boy was the Royal Suite something! The day finished with a trip up to the Gondola and Luge where the students gave Andy (tutor) a run for his money down the luge tracks!
A fantastic trip had by all…………..we are now looking forward to Auckland in Term 2.
