Rie Fujita
Destination Specialist

I was born in Japan, came to New Zealand with a work visa in the late 80’s and have been here ever since. My tourism career started with Japanese inbound group tours, series and incentives. I then gained experience at the Visitor Information Counter, and gradually got into the American and European markets.

I feel fortunate to have experienced some incredible New Zealand sites over the years; abseiling into Waitomo Glow Worm Caves in the evening, waking up to watch dolphins chirping onboard the Milford Sound cruise, soaking in a hot water spot in the Taupo river after a day kayaking, to name a few.

On weekends, I enjoy reading and gardening, but I am keen to get back to travelling now that the industry is back in action.
