To mix the joy of New Year 2006 and "The Mythical Land of Narnia" release, the four giants; Tourism New Zealand, British Airways, Major Cineplex and Walt Disney Pictures, are wishing Narnia fans a Happy New Year with a chance to be in the actual land of Narnia in New Zealand.
Only buy a ticket to "The Mythical Land of Narnia" at any Major Cineplex branches between December 29, 2005 and January 15, 2006, the ticket may not only take you to the land of Narnia on the celluloid world but also may take you on a trip to the actual land that had been used as film locations in New Zealand.
Each package prize includes two economy class return tickets to New Zealand provided by British Airways, three-night accommodation, and a trip to the White Witch Camp (or locally known as Woodhill Forest) in the Northwest of Auckland and the Great Battle (locally known as Flock Hill) in the Southern Alps of the South Island.
Roskamol Vongchowanart, TNZ Manager in Thailand, is pleased that New Zealand has always been desired by world-class directors. Thanks to its perfect location, more than 80 per cent of the "Narnia" was filmed in New Zealand while the rest was taken in United States and Czech of Republic. "Once the movie is released in the country at the end of this month, New Zealand will definitely be a once-in-a-lifetime destination for a large number of Thai tourists."
Julianne Rogers, Manager Thailand of Qantas/British Airways, said "We are pleased to join with promotional activities with Tourism New Zealand, Major Cineplex and Walt Disney Pictures for the screening of "From New Zealand to the Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe" here in Thailand. British Airways will give away six round trip air tickets to three lucky draw winners to visit New Zealand, which is one of the most favoured destinations for Thai travellers."
Anavach Ongvasith, Chief Marketing Officer of Major Cineplex Group Plc, said the joint-activity between the four giants will help expand the customer base group for the four partners because the film is loved by everyone. Moreover, the film will be released during the greeting season which will allow our customers to enjoy the film even more. Adapted from the most popular classical novel, the action fantasy film will certainly attract countless number of audience because New Zealand has a lot of to see, even on the film.
Krungsri GE also offers another bonus for the first 1,000 customers at Major Cineplex. Buying two tickets to "Narnia" at only one-ticket price between December 29, 2005 and January 2, 2006.
