Help & Support


Welcome to the Tourism Business Database Help & Support Hub.
The  Tourism Business Database  (TBD) helps eligible tourism businesses manage content that can appear on  newzealand.com  and be made available to selected tourism partners. 
Use this hub to help you create, manage and improve your Business Information, Product Listings and Travel Deals  
Whether you're getting started, updating content, or looking to improve your visibility online, you'll find practical guidance and support here.  


How the Tourism Business Database Works 

Your content follows a simple journey: 

1. Create a Business Profile 
Add your business details, contact information, website links and logo. 
Submit for approval. Your business profile will be reviewed by our moderators.
2. Create a Product Listing 
Describe the products, services or experiences you offer. 
3. Submit for Review 
Tourism New Zealand reviews submitted content before it is published. This helps make sure content is accurate, eligible and aligned with the  terms and conditions 
4. Publish and Distribute 
Approved Product Listings can appear on  newzealand.com  and may be made available through selected distribution channels. 
5. Keep Content Current 
Regular updates help visitors find accurate information and make it easier for AI tools to understand and recommend your business.
