New Communications Manager joins Destination Wairarapa

Destination Wairarapa, the regional tourism organisation, has appointed journalist Sara Bunny to the position of Media Communications & Content Generation.

As an escapee from the Auckland rat race, it was the relaxed lifestyle, personal opportunities and exciting growth of the Wairarapa that attracted Sara and her partner to the area. “As part of my role as the media communications go-to at Destination Wairarapa, I’m really looking forward to continuing to strengthen tourism by promoting the unique stories of the region”.

A trained journalist, with a background that includes writing travel, lifestyle, health and current affairs features for the New Zealand Herald, Next magazine, and the Australian Women’s Weekly, Sara has also worked in copywriting, pr, web writing and social media management. Alongside a range of experience, she has a thorough list of key journalism contacts to bring to the table, and an in-depth knowledge and understanding of the New Zealand media landscape.

Media coverage of the region achieved by the RTO has been one of the factors which has seen sustained high percentage growth in Wairarapa’s tourism spend and visitor nights. Sara is looking forward to being a part of this dynamic region’s continued success.
