About YoungTEC

Young Tourism Export Council (YoungTEC) is a subsidiary of the Tourism Export Council of New Zealand and is open to tourism professionals and TECNZ member employees aged 18 to 40. YoungTEC’s mission is to enhance our tourism export industry by developing  future leaders. Members are offered regular networking events, educational workshops, a mentoring and development programme, and invaluable, up-to-date industry knowledge.

Members have their own YTEC Constitution 2020 and executive committee structure.

The Executive committee are members elected from the key regions of Auckland, Central North Island, Wellington, Christchurch and Queenstown annually. At least one board member is representative from an ITO. Executive committee elections are held every year. Nominations open in the third quarter on the year for those interested in self-nominating or nominating a fellow industry colleague.

As well as the committee, each region has 2–3 regional representatives who facilitate local networking events. Regional networking groups include: Queenstown, Christchurch, Wellington, Central North Island & Auckland.
