Welcome to Sir George Seymour,

Nicole Domett CEO

Thanks for including us in your career options and I hope you feel inspired when looking through this prospectus.

The travel and tourism industry is the world’s largest industry and here in New Zealand it provides one in 10 with jobs, making travel and tourism New Zealand’s largest employer. Our students success is our number one priority and for the past 18 years we have seen over 90% of our graduates placed not just in travel and tourism but also in a wide range of industries. It is always wonderful to see past graduates employed with airlines at an airport, onboard a plane, organising an event or conference, or in a range of other travel and tourism positions.

I love being part of this exciting industry and started myself as a retail travel agent in Invercargill before moving to Christchurch then Auckland to join a wholesale travel operator prior to starting my own business when I was 23 years of age – training for the travel and tourism industry.

Often people will ask what is it about the industry that makes it interesting and challenging. I think it is because travel in itself is exciting. Travelling to new and different places in the world, meeting people from all different cultures, and experiencing different food, music and scenery really broadens our view on the world. The travel and tourism industry is also exciting because it is always changing. Technology has brought about the worlds largest aircraft, the Airbus 380 which can hold up to 853 passengers, new destinations are becoming popular such as Vietnam, and a change in how we view the world has meant many travellers are now seeking meaningful travel experiences such as building an orphanage as part of their holiday. It is these constant new changes that make the travel and tourism industry so exciting. Added to this is that we live in a place in the world that we can proudly showcase as ‘unique’. Visitors see New Zealand as heaven on earth and anyone who is part of the New Zealand tourism industry has reason to be proud.

The travel and tourism industry like others has faced many challenges over recent years. Swine flu and the recession being just two of the challenges. Events such as the Rugby World Cup, however, continue to showcase New Zealand and make it attractive to visitors from all over the world.

Travel has always been part of our Kiwi culture and with New Zealand being unique to the world, these two combined will always ensure that travel and tourism has a strong future.

I look forward to you joining us.

Nicole Domett CEO Sir George Seymour
