"The Inside Tourism newsletter is a must-read each week."
Chris Roberts
CEO, TIA
"IT is an informative publication and provides great coverage of what is happening in the tourism industry - a must read each week!"
Judy Chen, CEO
Tourism Export Council
"It's a great publication. You put things in perspective. Ultimately, it's a publication, I suspect, whose target market is people who are intimately involved in the industry. So, it is meant to be technical in nature and in quite a few places it is."
John Key
Former Prime Minister of New Zealand and Tourism Minister
