What is Blog4NZ?

Blog4NZ is a grass-roots effort on the part of the international travel blogging community to promote all that is good about travel in New Zealand, Canterbury and Christchurch. It is a worldwide blogging event that is running from the 21st to 23nd of March — the one-month anniversary of the quake.

Following the devastating earthquake in Christchurch on February 22 this year, New Zealand has been in shock. It’s going to take a lot of love and a lot of cash to help rebuild the city. Tourism makes up approximately 10% of New Zealand’s GDP and it is essential for the world to know that New Zealand is open for business, and that it doesn’t look like a war zone.

What we are doing

  • We are asking bloggers and travel websites around the world to publish at least one positive post on travel in New Zealand on March 21-23 March, 2011.
  • We are providing guest posts and photo essays that may be used royalty-free for those who would like to take part, but haven’t been to New Zealand.
  • We are talking with key New Zealand tourism organisations to ensure maximum impact and exposure.
  • We are combing all those posts in one central location so people can see, repost, and retweet those they like.

Bloggers and publishers will be able to post a logo and optional link with their stories, as well as have access to widgets for their sidebar, etc.
