Description:
The Covid-19 pandemic had decimated the global tourism industry. In New Zealand, a once-popular destination called Te Anau was ready to give up. It needed a way to reconnect with Kiwi travellers, especially those in big cities like Auckland, and encourage people to visit once lockdowns were over.
Our insight. Te Anau has an extra hour of daylight compared to Auckland, and by not turning the clocks back in April for Daylight Savings, it effectively created a bespoke time zone: Te Anau Time. The idea, show there is so much to do in Te Anau that people need an extra hour of daylight.
