Aranui Cruises targets New Zealand with BDM appointment
Papeete-based Aranui Cruises, which operates the mixed freight and passenger ship Aranui 5, appointed Tahiti Tourisme’s Moana McKeen as business development manager for New Zealand.
McKeen, who has been with Tahiti Tourisme 10 years, is taking part in ‘The Islands of Tahiti’ road show which moves to Auckland from Sydney on Thursday.
Reinvigorating the market
Aranui Cruises’ Australia and New Zealand representative Laurent Wong said McKeen’s position is aimed at reinvigorating the New Zealand market.
‘There are few people in this region who know French Polynesia as well as Moana,’ Wong said.
‘I know she is going to do a fantastic job promoting Aranui in the New Zealand market, strengthening ties with travel agent partners, training wholesalers and agents and continuing to foster the close relationships she has developed over many years in the industry.’
40 years
‘I can’t wait to hone in on the stunning Marquesas Islands which were recently UNESCO heritage-listed and where Aranui has been cruising for 40 years,’ McKeen said.
She said she is also looking forward to the special Austral Islands being put on the world stage by Aranui Cruises.
