New Zealand (Māori: Aotearoa) is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, a country of
stunning and diverse natural beauty: jagged mountains, rolling pasture land, steep fiords, pristine trout-filled
lakes, raging rivers, scenic beaches,and active volcanic zones. Māori culture continues to play an important part
in everyday life and the identity of the nation. Government and corporate New Zealand is full of Māori symbolism.
There are abundant opportunities for visitors to understand and experience the history and present-day forms of
Māori life.
