A New Zealand short-haul reservations consultant, Felicity Alquist of GO Holidays in Auckland has returned from an eight-night trip to the Cook Islands, super excited about her experience and recommending a visit to the islands for everyone.
Ms. Alquist won the all expenses paid for holiday under the SPTO South Pacific Specialist program in June last year.
After she was announced the winner, Ms Alquist had expressed her excitement to go as it is one of her ‘favourite islands.’ Following her return from the winning trip, Ms Alquist has a renewed passion and commitment to encourage everyone to go to the Cook Islands.
“I cannot express enough how warm and welcoming the Rarotonga locals were with from the moment we stepped of the plane,” she said.
Describing the beauty of the beach front at the Pacific Resort, which was their first stop on the holiday, she highlighted the beach front breakfast setup where she enjoyed her morning coffee with sand between her toes looking over the water. A particular feature of the resort was its closeness to the local night markets where they were able to sample tasty local dishes.
