Mercury Pacific is a destination management company and inbound tour operator in Riccarton, Christchurch, that arranges trips to New Zealand and Australia for overseas travel agents, wholesalers and organisations. It works only with the trade, so it is a business-to-business service rather than one that sells to the public. Since 2001 it has designed and run group tours, shore excursions for cruise lines and port agents, incentive programmes such as gala dinners and team experiences, and elite and VIP programmes with private aviation and exclusive-use lodges.
The business says it builds its itineraries from first-hand knowledge of the destinations, and it offers trade-only rates. It can arrange tours for groups of six to 600 people, as series, closed groups, incentives or shore excursions. The website lists themed programmes for groups with particular interests, including wineries, active seniors, sport events, fishing, adventure, photography, educational tours, special dietary needs, women-only groups and skiing.
