On behalf of the Board and our entire organisation, I am delighted to share the wonderful news that our esteemed colleague, Lisa Li, has been awarded a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit (MNZM) in the King’s Birthday Honours List for services to the tourism industry.

This is a richly deserved recognition of Lisa’s outstanding contribution, both within our organisation, more broadly across the sector. We are incredibly proud to have such a dedicated and inspiring individual on our Board.

We would also like to congratulate Ranjna Patel, ONZM, QSM, JP, on being appointed a Dame Companion of the Order (DNZM).

Please join me in congratulating Lisa and Ranjna on this prestigious honour.

Warm regards,

Kayo Sakey

Co-Chair, New Zealand Asian Leaders
