Your Official Information Request
I refer to your official information request dated 18 May 2021 asking if Tourism New Zealand
has ever hosted, contacted, received donations from, sponsored, or otherwise supported
the following individuals, their agents, or associated people:
Amway
Jono Rowe
Kirsty Rowe
Dominic McKenna
the Entrepreneur Club
I can confirm that Tourism New Zealand has not had any contact with the individuals
named. Tourism New Zealand has worked with AMWAY China in the past and in 2018, in
partnership with Destination Queenstown, we were successful securing the hosting of the
AMWAY China Leadership Seminar. You can read the Stuff article about that visit
here. We
continue to work with AMWAY China on future hosting opportunities in New Zealand.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision.
