Sharing Rotorua's secrets online
12 March 2014
An online video series called Rotorua's Hidden Hot Spots has been released by Destination Rotorua Marketing (DRM).
The collection of six short videos takes viewers on a visual journey through the hidden gems around Rotorua, featuring forest, family, adventure, luxury and spa videos as well as a look at contemporary Maori culture.
DRM general manager, Oscar Nathan, said we wanted to challenge people's perceptions of Rotorua.
As locals we all know the envious lifestyle Rotorua offers - the beauty of the Redwoods forest, all the adventure sports on our doorstep, the geothermal spas to visit and the amazing experiences we have here - this series is about sharing just some of those secrets.
The series aims to build on the success of the Famously Rotorua Television Commercial but show a more in-depth picture of whats available in Rotorua.
The videos were commissioned by DRM and filmed and produced by local company Cadre Productions.
Filmmaker Nick Stevenson says the beauty of the project was the opportunity to show off his hometowns hidden secrets to the rest of New Zealand.
There is so much more to Rotorua than meets the eye. Individually each video is about one aspect of Rotorua that most people wouldn't be familiar with. Collectively I hope the series changes perceptions of how people think about Rotorua.
