Webjet today announced the opening of webjet.co.nz to facilitate, initially, Australian domestic flights, and cars and hotels to New Zealand residents.
Commenting, Webjet's Managing Director, David Clarke said: "Approximately 800,000 travellers visit Australia from New Zealand each year and we consider the Travel Services Aggregator (TSA) with the ability to compare and transact all Australian content on the one screen will provide the New Zealand traveller with a special and unique advantage. Over half the New Zealand population currently have internet access and of the Australian visitors over 80% are repeat customers.
The New Zealand site will be fully serviced by the existing Australian infrastructure with incremental costs limited to New Zealand online marketing associated activities."
