Mauke BrochureLast month 5 CIT staff members were in Mauke documenting the new Air Rarotonga Mauke Experience as well as supporting key island activities. After a brilliant five days connecting with the local people and the Kou te Turoto Mauke (Mauke Tourism Council), a variety of content and collateral has been generated for the community.

As a follow up of this visit, CIT Director of Sales & Marketing Global, Karla Eggelton, and Digital Executive, Tony Fe'ao, are in Mauke. Meeting with the council to present the images and collateral created from the first visit. A key output will be to present a draft of the new Mauke Brochure. 

The tagline ‘Shhh.. it’s a secret!’ has been developed to highlight for visitors that Mauke is full of secrets and wonder. Mauke is largely untouched and is a place where you can find a beach cove all to yourself. When asked to describe the inspiration behind their tagline, the tourism council said it’s about being able to ‘Switch off from the world and tune into our way of life’
