A Big Day Out In The Sounds
Press Release – Destination Marlborough Big Day Out provided operators with a unique opportunity to connect one to one with trade and experience all that was special about Marlborough first hand. Twenty-one senior New Zealand travel trade journeyed to the Marlborough Sounds recently to talk tourism with Marlborough operators. Destination Marlborough's annual Big Day Out 2025 was hosted for the first time at Portage Resort in Kenepuru Sound. This provided a uniquely Marlborough backdrop for the inbound tour operators and industry representatives from Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch to meet with 25 trade ready local tourism operators. Destination Marlborough Acting General Manager Tracey Green said she believed it was the first time that the Big Day Out had been held in the Marlborough Sounds. 'The choice for this year's trade day was strategic by hosting in the Marlborough Sounds. The team at Portage Resort did not disappoint – now under Capstone Hotel Management – they put on a spectacular showcase for our visiting agents showing off newly refurbished rooms, along with outstanding food offerings' she said. Ms Green said the Big Day Out provided operators with a unique opportunity to connect one to one with trade and experience all that was special about Marlborough first hand. 'Agents were encouraged to dig a little deeper when talking to operators at this year's event. We are fortunate that travel trade can either meet the business owners or senior staff at an event like this and in turn this means our operators can be flexible and fast when responding to the agents' needs.' 'When we have agents better equipped to sell Marlborough, it drives visitor numbers, increases overnight stays, and supports jobs across the accommodation, hospitality, activity and transport sectors,' Ms Green added. Destination Marlborough Trade Marketing Manager Adelyne Britto said the event took place over three days and included site visits, hosted experiences, and a dedicated trade day with one-on-one appointments between operators and agents to 'strengthen existing partnerships and spark new ones.' 'The event offered agents first-hand knowledge and authentic experiences to better sell Marlborough as a destination to their clients. It also reinforced the region's unique value in New Zealand itineraries,' Adelyne said. A key strategic event for Destination Marlborough, the Big Day Out remains an iconic event for the region hosted every year in June. While in town, most agents took part in two post event itinerary options providing an invaluable opportunity to experience first-hand Marlborough's tourism offering.

With a variety of products from food, drinks and tasty snacks, to cosmetics and grooming, healthcare and household essentials, the boxes have something for everyone. Informing fellow cash-strapped Brits about the epic deal, one woman, Tracey Green, took to Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook. Sharing a snap of her brand new full-sized goodies, the thrifty woman said: ''I signed up, received an email with a survey, which I had to answer some questions to see if I was a match and received my 1st free #triyit box.

Nutrition expert Birgit Brendel said bread will last longer when stored in the fridge or freezer. However, this can compromise the flavour. Storing in ceramic or pottery containers is an alternative that allows for air to flow easily and slow the growth of mould. Robert Morris, managing director of food safety consultants, Complete Food Safety, revealed the best place to store fresh fruit and vegetables. He said salad foods should be stored in the fridge drawer, but away from anything grown in the soil such as carrots, parsnips and beetroot. Tomatoes are an exception to the rule as fridges can alter the natural ripening process and diminish their taste. He also advised against putting avocados and bananas in the fridge as this will cause them to blacken quicker. One wrote: ''I got this exact same box the other day too!'' Another chimed in: ''I've had whiskey, cider, dog treats mainly.'' A third lucky customer commented under the post: ''I've been lucky, I've had half a dozen boxes over the last two years. ''My cats and dogs have got to try all sorts of food, as have I and I've got to try whiskies, rums and three different vodkas!'' A mum warned: ''I accidentally clicked I was breast feeding (my children are 9 and 11 ) but it couldn't be changed due to safety, so missed out. Be careful when selecting guys!''
