- Hi, and thank you for supporting small and medium businesses, I have often felt frustrated and unheard.my question is how can all the relevant and less relevant but still very much connected businesses come together to grow our market as a wedding destination? The obvious: venues, celebrants, photographers, catering, florists and transport providers, cake makers, beautician Rand the like are an obvious collaboration but we also have airlines, restaurants, activities, small local retailers, gifts, jewellery, relaxation etc who would all benefit within this combined industry; tourism and wedding.it is a no brainer to accept that this has huge potential, in a group with a bigger more flexible spend, who often extend their 2 nights to a fortnight (weddingmoon packages) who often bring others with them to celebrate, growing the spend further.I need help, We need funding we need to come together for organic push. What advice can you give, who will fund us and how can we get the story out to the 1000’s of couples who would have left NZ to marry but no longer can? Thank you

- We are a small camping ground and farmstay business on the Queen Charlotte Track, Marlborough. We have no road access and therefore doing anything is quite complex and usually physically quite difficult. We will be the last cab off the rank with getting going I suspect because we have nothing to do with essential services. The competition for domestic tourism will be fierce and there will be big players with lots of knowledge and skills competing for the NZ domestic tourists. We, Graham and I (58 and 61 years old), have grown the camping ground, added farmstay and cabins from a less than $10,000. business to a $65,000 business in 4 years. We are still small, don’t really fit into any association that will represent us clearly but need to fight with the bigger tourism operators for business in this coming season. We need to talk through social media, marketing electronically and how to target specific markets with someone who is able to explain it so that we can understand. We largely direct market. Booking agencies etc don’t work well out here. We cannot fill cancelled bookings if within a month of visit because we are remote and part of a bigger QCT experience. Their refund policies leave us in a hole.
