Chinese business travellers are first priority Auckland tourism for a first-of-its-kind alliance.

Since travel resumed last year, 6% of the 210,000 Chinese tourists were here for business.

Tātaki Auckland Unlimited and Auckland Airport will work with China Southern Airlines to market their daily non-stop flights from their main hub in Guangzhou to business travellers.

Auckland Unlimited Destination Director, Annie Dundas, told Mike Hosking that this is the first collaboration they've had with a Chinese airline.

She says we hosted five thousand people from Amway China last year, and this is the kind of business they're looking for.
