Affordable Conferences In New Caledonia
The Strong Nz Dollar Makes New Caledonia The Hot Pacific Group Destination For 2013

Just under a three hour flight from Auckland is the French territory of New Caledonia, an exotic slice of Europe; combining the warmth of the Pacific with the sophistication, food and culture of France; a glorious and often overlooked Pacific paradise.

Due to the strength of the New Zealand dollar and the weakness of the Euro and French Pacific Franc, New Caledonia is the new ‘hot Pacific’ conference and group destination for 2013 and 2014.

If you’re planning a conference, dealer or franchise meeting, corporate sales or management conference, you need to take a serious look at the exceptional value New Caledonia now offers groups.

Many conference organisers have looked past New Caledonia due to a perception of cost, an impression that is ten years out of date. Group travel organisers can now look seriously at New Caledonia as a superb conference location; a warm exotic, well priced destination with costs on par with visiting the Gold Coast of Australia.

As a group destination New Caledonia has so much to offer and is our closest Pacific neighbour, providing the first world amenities of France with the heart and soul of the Kanak people.

What does New Caledonia offer?
Enjoy exceptional French Pacific food, with French wine, a wide range of hotels, accommodation styles and venues, excellent shopping, abundant culture and glorious beaches.

Choose from a wonderful variety of conference or post conference activities including a wide range of watersports for example fishing, diving, surfing, windsurfing, paddle boarding, paragliding, waterskiing. There are excellent golf courses, island excursions, museums of Pacific Art, hiking, trekking, hunting, visiting local villages, all the best the Pacific has to offer with an incomparable slice of European flair.

A currency update:
The French franc as of March 2013 is around 1NZD = 75, 79 French Pacific franc, for example a French baguette is 80F or NZ $1.55, a beer in a bar is 500F or NZ $6.59, ham sandwich 300F or NZ$3.95, hamburger and fries 1000F or NZ$13.19, coffee 300F or NZ $3.95, carton of takeout food 800F or NZ $10.55, great value and less than some other Pacific destinations.

Planning your next conference for 2013 or 2014, please put New Caledonia on your priority list of ‘Hot Pacific Destinations.’
