Get Yourself Online!

Everyday, you can read about the phenomenal explosion of the Internet. Not only are more individuals getting "connected" but many companies have progressed beyond informing Internet "surfers" about their product and are actually selling online! Around the world, Internet web pages are selling everything from banking services to groceries to pizza delivered hot to your door!

Here in Whitianga, our problem is not to inform the Aucklanders who arrive every Christmas. The problem is to inform the "off the shoulder" travellers what Whitianga has to offer.

Who are these "off the shoulder" travellers? A lot of research goes into determining who comes to New Zealand but their destinations are not generally known. Chances are, though, that they are international visitors. Savvy visitors, the ones who avoid the tour bus route, will research their intended destination. Since the Internet is current, it has replaced the libraries of the world as the ideal research tool. Unfortunately, Whitianga, Mercury Bay and the Coromandel Peninsula are barely represented online.

As Whitianga’s "Internet Specialist," I’m promoting Mercury Bay to the world. More importantly, Mercury Bay Online! members have received bookings from New Zealand and from around the world!

Welcome to Mercury Bay Online!

Internet Advertising Made Affordable!

Mercury Bay Online! is an Internet site which presents Mercury Bay to the World! This site contains Mercury Bay information including maps, local events (the Information Centre's "What’s On — Mercury Bay") and about the "community" we have here in Mercury Bay.

The second goal of this site, however, is to present the local tourism operators with an inexpensive means to advertise to the world. Read on — and imagine what Mercury Bay Online! can do for you!
