Originally from Palmerston North, Donna has lived, worked and travelled around New Zealand and other parts of the world, including her big ‘OE’ to the UK and USA.
Donna’s passion for the tourism industry, particularly in New Zealand, was inspired by her work as a Scuba Diving Instructor at Dive! Tutukaka in Northland.
Donna is our International Lead, working closely with Tourism New Zealand to promote Nelson Tasman to travel agents and media worldwide. She invests a lot of her time in educating and upskilling the travel trade on what is available in the region. Donna also supports Mark Maguire in delivering the Regional Business Partner Programme, designed to enable local businesses to innovate and grow.
