November's Tourism Services Award goes to...

New Zealand Travel Channel

This site is an excellent example of how information can be drawn together to offer a relevant and useful resource for travellers. The execution integrates information seamlessly and makes it very clear where to go to find information on all different areas of interest. The search functionality works well in helping visitors select suitable accommodation. Whilst the site goes further than most to cover a wide variety of travel information some areas, such as the 'regional information' section, are just a little scant. In this instance however, email addresses of Regional Tourism Organisations are provided. Our judges also feel more explanation of how to book to via the site's secure server would be useful Given the large amount of information contained within the site however, these are only minor criticisms. This is, without doubt, a very good site.
