100% PURE NEW ZEALAND! NZ IS THE TOP DESTINATION DOWN, DOWN UNDER AS IT IS FURTHER THAN AUSTRALIA FROM MALAYSIA AND A WORLD APART IN TOURIST ATTRACTIONS!

KEE@FSWMAG.COM

Enchanting Family Holidays Discovering 100% Pure New Zealand As New Zealand revels in the summer season, Tourism New Zealand is inviting families to come and experience the ‘land of the long white cloud’ and its amazing offerings of family-friendly activities. Under the “100% Pure New Zealand’’ campaign, families can look forward to an abundance of educational and experiential activities for parents and children such as visiting farms and orchards, going on a seafood cruise up and down the scenic Milford Sounds, biking through vineyards, or hiking through ancient caves in Waitomo to see glowworms light up like millions of stars. The Hobbit film set at Hobbiton near Matamata not surprisingly ranks among every family’s top ‘must see’ destinations. In rolling countryside untouched by the 20th century, the Middle-Earth location for JRR Tolkien’s saga is simply magical - complete with the Green Dragon Inn, where Hobbit Bilbo celebrated his birthday party. Rotorua, the cultural and geothermal heart of New Zealand, combines the vibrancy and romance of native Maori culture with nature parks of hot springs and mud baths. Maori culture offers entertainment as well as an educational experience and Rotorua is renowned for its rich cultural heritage. Holiday makers can go on a visit to a Maori marae (village) for a hangi (traditional dinner) and an evening of chants and songs, including the renowned Haka, made famous by the New Zealand All Blacks. The International Antarctic Centre in Christchurch offers an insight into what explorers and scientists encounter near the South Pole, with attractions including a simulator of the freezing conditions, a colony of Little Blue penguin, exhibits on past expeditions and a ride in a Hagglung; the all-terrain vehicle used to traverse the hostile environment. Whale Watching in Kaikoura is one of New Zealand’s top wildlife experiences, encountering whales, seals and dolphins by boat in these coastal waters. Close encountering with wildlife and seeing local birdlife like the native kea parrot up close is also enchanting at reserves such as Willowbank, Wild Kiwi, Zealandia or Rainbow Springs. In Oamaru and Dunedin you can watch penguins coming ashore every early evening after a day’s hunting for fish. Enjoying nature at its best in golden sand beaches such as Kaiteriteri near the Abel Tasman National Park is an inexpensive way to spend the day outdoors with the kids. Take a picnic – with local cheese and wine, and remember to treat yourselves to delicious New Zealand ice cream! Hint: Try out the uniquely New Zealand Hokey Pokey flavour! Of course, farms are everywhere and there are plenty of opportunities to see sheep, cows and deer as you drive through the rural regions. For a close encounter and opportunities to pet the animals, visit Agrodome in Rotorua or Walter Peak High Country Farm near Queenstown. While in Queenstown, the world’s adventure sports capital, take in the sights from cable cars and watch as the stunning alpine scenery unfold beneath you. Budding astronomers can also check out Lake Tekapo’s stargazing activities and learn more about the skies and heavenly bodies. Equally thrilling is hot air ballooning over the Canterbury plains, as is sailing the ancient sunken river valleys, secluded bays and sandy beaches of the Marlborough Sounds. In the winter, families can look forward to exciting activities as well. Adventure seekers can try out one of New Zealand’s many ski resorts while the little ones can go sledding or show shoeing. For a relaxing vacation, soak in a hot pool set amidst a stunning backdrop of white capped mountains.­­­ When travelling with children, family-friendly accommodation is also important, and New Zealand's family-style motels have kitchens to accommodate those wanting to cook their own meals. Many motels also have BBQ facilities, swimming pools and playgrounds for children. “New Zealand has all the ingredients for that special family holiday magic,” said Mischa Mannix-Opie, Tourism New Zealand Regional Manager for South and Southeast Asia. “Children love getting in touch with nature, exploring and learning. It’s simple and fun – and there’s so much diversity and interest, plus wonderful food and wine, that parents still feel like it’s their holiday too.”  “And road trips are absolutely the best way to go – they are discovery, adventure and relaxation all rolled into one.  A true down-to-earth experience meeting friendly local people, stopping anywhere or anytime you like. There’s never a dull moment and natural beauty is all around.” Details of self-drive and coach holidays plus package tours are at www.newzealand.com/sg.

HAPPY HORSEY YEAR FROM CARLSBERG, THE WORLD'S BEST BEER! AND WHERE BETTER TO START THE FESTIVITIES THAN SELANGOR TURF CLUB!

KEE@FSWMAG.COM

Gallop into the Year of the Horse with Carlsberg to unleash success and prosperity

The top guns from Carlsberg team with 8 Gods of Wealth and 4 lucky lions at Selangor Turf Club

With the thunder of hooves auspiciously heralding the Year of the Horse, Malaysia’s most preferred beer brand, Carlsberg, unveiled its Chinese New Year campaign with a magnificent media launch fittingly held at the prestigious Selangor Turf Club (STC) at the auspicious time and date of 11:11am on January 11.

Given the cultural significance of the Chinese zodiac sign of the horse in the eyes of the Chinese community, Carlsberg welcomed the lunar new year by presenting a special horse race named the ‘Carlsberg Golden Success Cup’ to symbolically unleash success and good fortune in leaps and bounds for consumers and customers of the brand.

In keeping with tradition, the launch itself was filled with pomp and ceremony that started with the arrival of Carlsberg Malaysia managing director Henrik Juel Andersen in a horse-drawn chariot to the beat of Chinese drums, followed by the appearance of eight “Fook Gods” (Gods of Prosperity), and a riveting lion dance performance by multiple world-champion troupe, Kun Seng Keng Dragon Lion Dance Association.

The launch also unveiled the striking creative of the Carlsberg Chinese New Year campaign from behind a 10-foot tall door embellished with mock gold coins, reminiscent of an ancient palace entrance in olden day China.

The artistic creative depicted a liquid-like golden horse on its hind legs appearing from the rich golden beer gushing out from a Carlsberg bottle. The majestic and magnificent look and feel of the creative as well as the tagline that was unveiled represents Carlsberg’s call to consumers to unleash their success and good fortune when they open a bottle of Carlsberg.

Andersen said, “Carlsberg has always taken the time to pay homage to and show appreciation for Chinese customs and traditions, and more so during this time of the year. As we bid goodbye to the Year of the Snake, we are racing into the new lunar year with speed and energy to spread success and good fortune to all our consumers and customers.”

“The horse is a strong and noble animal. Its magnificence is clearly reflected in our Chinese New Year campaign creative and it is Carlsberg’s call to consumers to take charge and be bold as they pursue every happiness and success that await.”

In what was arguably the most auspiciously symbolic race of the year for the brand, the ‘Carlsberg Golden Success Cup’ saw jockeys and horses vie wholeheartedly to gain the lead, and win the prestigious trophy and cash prize of RM75,000 as the crowd cheered them on in a hearty welcome to the upcoming Year of the Horse.

Andersen said that the horse race was also a part of Carlsberg’s quest to encourage consumers to boldly embrace the year ahead. “The horse has long played an integral role in the history of China, be it for transportation, to fight battles, as entertainment for its emperors and even in Chinese mythology. What better way to usher in the Year of the Horse than with this horse race that embodies the energy and strength that we wish for our consumers to achieve golden success in the lunar new year.”  

He added, “We have already begun sharing good fortune and prosperity with our Chinese New Year ang pow giveaways through the consumer promotion nationwide.  With over 80,000 cash prizes and giveaways up for grabs,  we are happy to see thousands of our consumers  being rewarded with ang pows as a result.  This is our way of saying “thank you” to our loyal consumers.”

To participate in the promotion, Carlsberg consumers just need to check the bottle cap liner when they open either a large bottle of Carlsberg, Asahi Super Dry or Royal Danish Stout at participating outlets. With a total of 30 big ang pow of RM8,888 each and 3,000 ang pow worth RM388 each to be given away by February 14, Carlsberg consumers should not miss the opportunity to be on the receiving end of good fortune from the brand. To add excitement to the campaign, consumers who submit a contest form could also stand to win RM888 and bonus prizes. Four bonus round draws will take place during the campaign, where a total of 40 units of 50” Sharp LED televisions as bonus prizes can be won.

To bring family and friends closer together during the festive season, Carlsberg is the official beer sponsor of the promotional roadshow for the Chinese New Year movie “Ah Beng – Mission Impossible’, a Malaysian production featuring local artistes Jack Lim who plays ‘Ah Beng’, as well as Jeff Chin, Yumi Wong, Gan Mei Yan and Chen Keat Yoke. As part of the roadshow, the cast will visit 20 Carlsberg affiliated food courts in Klang, Ipoh, Butterworth and other parts of Penang to meet and greet consumers. Consumers who purchase two buckets of Carlsberg during the activity stand a chance to get an autographed photo of ‘Ah Beng’ and the other stars. 

Andersen concluded, “As the Lunar New Year strides closer day by day, it is vital to celebrate new beginnings and to spend time with family and friends as it gives people a chance to strengthen bonds and renew ties. And like every other year, what is a reunion or gathering in the Year of the Horse without an icy cold Carlsberg?”

BEST WESTERN PREMIER Dua Sentral In 

Collaboration with Youths from iM4U

 Pledges to Plant Vegetables and Herbs in 

Its Garden

BEST WESTERN PREMIER Dua Sentral in collaboration with youths from iM4U recently organized the planting of local vegetables and herbs in its garden. This is part of the hotel’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative for its employees in a bid to reduce carbon footprints while creating awareness and encouraging the planting of vegetables and herbs.

Employees from various departments of the hotel traded in a morning’s work to prepare and plant local vegetables and herbs in their garden. With youths from iM4U providing guidance, BEST WESTERN PREMIER Dua Sentral’s employees got their hands dirty planting vegetables like eggplant, chili, tomato, long bean, cucumber and various herbs. During the 2 days, employees were taught to grow and care for these plants.

“The process of creating the garden took approximately 2 months of planning. It was a unique process which required innovative thinking from the team at BEST WESTERN PREMIER Dua Sentral with assistance from 'Youth from iM4U'," said Executive Chef Jaffery Othman whose garden is his brainchild.

From now on, under the leadership of the hotel’s Executive Chef Jaffery Othman and his team of dedicated employees, the garden will be reviewed thrice daily to ensure it is healthy and bountiful. Eventually the vegetables and herbs will be served in the staff canteen.  

Efny Johan, Director Brand Management Group said, “This is iM4U’s first collaboration with BEST WESTERN PREMIER Dua Sentral and we are looking forward to a long and fruitful association. We are pleased an established organisation like BEST WESTERN PREMIER Dua Sentral is willing to provide the students with opportunities to share their knowledge and expertise. We also hope to implement this initiative to other BEST WESTERN’s hotels in Malaysia."

iM4U is a non-profit organization that helps  nurture and cultivate volunteerism and social responsibility among Malaysian youths. It aims to foster a socially responsible generation.
