Paeroa, World Famous
Tourism Paeroa’s ‘Paeroa Roadshow’ has kicked off and Colin's got out his best Stubbies!
The official Tourism Paeroa Roadshow kicked off last month with the official Tourism Paeroa van rolling out of Paeroa to promote the home of L&P as the hottest tourist destination in the country, if not the world.
"Paeroa’s got a lot to offer and it’s an undiscovered tourism hot spot full of wonders. The 7 Wonders of Paeroa in fact. We’re out to get people to discover them", says Maurice Morrison, self-appointed Deputy Minister of Tourism to Paeroa, local wedding celebrant, and Communications Officer for The Paeroa PR Machine.
The Roadshow’s official van driver, and Special Envoy to Tourism Paeroa – Colin Brown – is featuring in a series of 12 three-minute ‘webisodes’ on the site, chronicling his trip down the North Island as he pursues his quest to meet Prime Minister John Key.
The Roadshow has already stopped in Hamilton, Raglan, Rotorua and Te Puke and in the coming weeks will be visiting Taupo, Ohakune, Taihape, Dannevirke and Eketahuna, before arriving in Wellington in late November.
Maurice says that people can follow the Roadshow on the new modern, cutting-edge Tourism Paeroa website that, after a night class at Hamilton Tech, he’s personally developing - www.tourismpaeroa.co.nz
