A little more of the i-SITE story
and why you should visit us
We've been around since 1990, established by what's known today as Tourism New Zealand. The i-SITE brand is proudly managed by Tourism New Zealand, the government entity responsible for attracting high-value visitors to New Zealand. Each year, our network of over 60 i-SITE Visitor Information Centres welcome about 7.6 million visitors.
Each i-SITE is individually locally-owned and operated, giving each one a unique local flavour, tailor-made for their region.
Every person who works at i-SITE is a travel expert for their own home town, so they can help you to find the sorts of activities, attractions, accommodation and transport that only a local would know. You can be sure that once you have experienced the latest and greatest of what one place has to offer, i-SITE will help connect you with their equally friendly i-SITE colleagues at the next stop on your journey.
So whether you’ve come around the world or down the road you can rely on i-SITE for expert local knowledge and bookings throughout New Zealand.
