‘Travel, events & activities’ category unleashed

Written by The Trade Me Travel team in General at 10:31am, Mon 6 Sep 2010

We launched our new ‘Travel, events & activities’ category today. You’ll see it tucked in there below ‘Toys & models’ on the homepage.

This new category lets you buy and sell pretty much anything related to travel and tourism in New Zealand. Right now, you’ll find accommodation from around New Zealand at $1 reserve, and there are some cool international holidays being sold too. We expect the category will soon be home to everything from gift vouchers through to bungy jump experiences, event tickets and flights.

Our 3-year old accommodation booking website Travelbug (fronted by Trevor the travel bug) is heavily involved in this new category too, with many of the 2300+ Travelbug accommodation operators supplying deals to Trade Me. There won’t be any mucking around after winning a Travelbug auction either - stay dates are confirmed instantly on the Travelbug website and to keep it simple, payment is by credit card only.

Note too that there is no requirement for operators wanting to list auctions in the new category to be existing Travelbug partners. The opportunity is open to anyone operating in the New Zealand travel and tourism market.

Check out the new category here.
