Pack your bags for Taupō this August

Cheap airfares and winter deals make Great Lake Taupō the ideal place for a holiday this August.

With school holidays over and the cold weather set in, attracting visitors in August can be a challenge for many tourism businesses.

How about $49 Taupō flights, plus amazing deals on activities, dining, accommodation and shopping in the town centre, to help you make the decision to book an August winter holiday?

In association with Air New Zealand’s Grabaseat, Destination Great Lake Taupō’s (DGLT) Grabit campaign goes to air on TV1 this Sunday. 400 flights between Auckland, Wellington and Taupō go on sale at just $49. There are also hundreds of deals on accommodation, dining, activities and shopping on the Grabit website, Www.Greatlaketaupo.Com/Grabit.

“Not only can visitors travel at a great price, they can enjoy off-season discounts on their accommodation, activities and dining choices. It makes for a very economical holiday which in the current market is appealing to lots of travellers”, says DGLT Marketing Manager, Donna Jarden.

“It’s a perfect time to try out the region’s signature activities like the Hukafalls Jet at $79, or for the family to learn to ski, hire gear and go sight-seeing on the chair-lift all for $299. The whole family can stay and dine at Suncourt Hotel for $139 per night or book a Superior Lodge at Taupō DeBretts and swim in the hot pools all day for $199. For a real high-light how about conquering the Tongariro Alpine Crossing with Adrift Outdoors for $155 per person?”

The deals, all valid for the month of August, are live on www.GreatLakeTaupo.com/Grabit.
