subject: Travel Tips When Arriving In Auckland [print this page] Youve landed on the tarmac, deplaned and thinking of business in an unfamiliar city. Now is the time for logistics lodging, ground transportation and client interaction. The smart business traveler will have laid the groundwork for success by carefully planning his business trip before leaving the home office. Those who prepare themselves beforehand will perform better with business assignments and enjoy a more pleasurable traveling experience. The first decision: how should the traveler move from airport to hotel to business or leisure?
In Auckland there is a cost-effective solution for business ground transportation. Airport Transfer Services Ltd. offers a fixed cost transfer service from the airport to the city, hotels and North Shore suburbs. This is not an airport shuttle or taxi; the Transfer Services team meets and greets the business traveler inside the terminal at designated meeting points. They are a 24/7 service that monitors all scheduled flights. There is no sharing or waiting for other passengers. Your schedule is their schedule. They fight the hectic Auckland traffic, freeing the businessman to focus on more important matters. For added reassurance, know that any North Shore destination Okura, Albany and beyond is one fixed price without any added mileage costs. And of course, all of Airport Transfers drivers and vehicles are duly licensed for all applicable New Zealand Transport laws and regulations.
As noted Guest Service and Concierge Trainer Elaine Oksner explains, Before the advent of the internet and other amazing technological tools, hotel guests used to rely on the concierge at their destination to orient them to their new surroundings and connect them with tourist destinations, specialized shopping, gourmet restaurants, business services and serve a myriad other needs. Now, with computer access and the internet, travelers are capable of conducting their own research prior to arrival at their destination. They can search out Auckland restaurants by consulting websites such as eatout.co.nz or menus.co.nz. They can book their travel on Orbitz, Expedia or Travelocity. Yet a hotel concierge can offer his experience and knowledge of the local area to the hotel guest unfamiliar with his surroundings. Perhaps more importantly, the concierge can also assist with day-to-day duties or errands that working business travelers simply do not have time to do.
Business travelers on the North Island of New Zealand have the enviable option of combining commerce with leisure since many attractions are only a short drive away from four and five star hotels. Whether the guest seeks the convenience of downtown Auckland or the breathtaking beauty of a shorefront resort, a number of hotel properties are available to serve the travelers needs. Some accommodations like the seaside Takapuna Oaks offer apartments for long term stays. If convenience is paramount, a property such as the deluxe City Hotel in downtown Auckland offers proximity to the citys entertainment and business districts. Farther afield are destinations such as Rotorua, Taupo and Tauranga where luxurious boutique hotels serve as a base for excursions such as kiwi and citrus orchard visits, deep sea fishing, lava field exploration and surfing.
