Welcome to the official site of Travcom - New Zealand Travel Communicators.

Travcom exists to encourage, promote and reward excellence in travel writing and travel photography in New Zealand with more than 200 members including professional travel writers, photographers, authors, broadcasters, public relations consultants and other travel-related communicators.

We'd like your vote in the Whitcoulls Travel Book of the Year Award - Readers Choice award. Nine travel books published in 2009 are entered and it's great to support New Zealand writers and the travel writing industry.

Thank you to everyone who entered the Cathay Pacific Travel Media Awards 2010. Entries have closed for the published writing and photography awards. But the AA Directions magazine award for the Best New Travel Writer deadline is this Friday the 12th of February - it's a wonderful start for a writing career, so please encourage your up-and-coming writers to enter.

Photos of the Travcom Christmas party and a Famil report for the Great Barrier Island excursion are now available.
