Connecting the promotion of New Zealand with its cultural activities seems to engage with a sense of the tourist as pro-sumer too. A traveler can already experience NZ’s broader culture online but you can’t do that so much with the NZ landscape except through images on the web. So NZ culture is already more alive to a traveler than anything else. Of course permanent beauty is a good draw card, but initially in a web environment its NZ culture which allows access to NZ environment and landscape which is interesting to think about. It seems like a good idea to build on what’s already available to a potential tourist via the web, even seeing this online experience as a better way to understand and engage with the future physical experience of NZ…? Lots to think about – Thanks Sarah – was interesting to read – It seems logical to see NZ culture as being key to accessing and enjoying fully the NZ experience, even fully enjoying and understanding the NZ landscape and environment (%100 pure doesn’t really allow for much ‘touched’ beauty).

It seems that there are things which international people like which is more of experience to such country rather than location or place . It seems that tourists are looking for happenings and what they can see or experienced to such place rather than structures. So in other words people were more apt to what some place can offer since travelers is also looking for quality vacation rather than quantity. I am also a traver and what I really like about going to places are seeing the nature and cultural practices of the people.

Some places eg. Italy I would usually more looking forward to the historic buildings. Places like Japan - of course the food! I would usually look into the history and culture of the country as well.
