MAKE TRAVEL MATTER®

- Uluru: At Walkatjara Art Uluru an Indigenous Anangu artist will explain just what makes this part of the world so spiritual, over an introduction to Western Desert Art, introducing totems and symbols important to the region and represented in paintings and installations. Your visit directly supports United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
- Rotorua: A feel-good encounter on your New Zealand tour, support the population of New Zealand’s national bird by teaming up with ‘Operation Nest Egg’ on a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® Experience at The National Kiwi Hatchery. Get up close and see kiwi eggs being incubated, the hatching process, and even newly hatched kiwi chicks. Located in Rotorua, this national leader in kiwi husbandry is helping to prevent kiwis from becoming extinct and without their crucial ongoing support it’s estimated that the brown kiwi will be extinct in the wild within two generations. You’ll learn how The National Kiwi Hatchery was launched in 2008 to become the most successful kiwi hatching facility in the world and has since hatched over 1850 eggs with a 98% survival rate. As you learn about the work being done to save this rare native bird, know that on your travels you’re contributing to this valuable conservation effort.
