SINGAPORE – Agoda.com, Asia’s leading hotel booking site and part of Nasdaq-listed Priceline Group (Nasdaq: PCLN), is celebrating the growing number of international travelers that are choosing New Zealand as their tour destination by offering special hotel deals in some of the world’s most picturesque locations.
New Zealand’s increasing visibility on the global tourism meter over the past few years has been driven by one thing above all others – movies. Indeed, until about ten years ago, it was still a rather mysterious country with a steady but unglamorous travel industry. But that all changed with the release with The Fellowship of the Ring in 2001, which became a worldwide phenomenon and instant classic, ensuring the success of its two follow-up films The Two Towers and The Return of the King. Taken together, these three films earned nearly US$3 billion at the worldwide box office and won a total of 17 Academy Awards, including Best Picture for the final entry.
