Motel Membership
This category of membership is for motel owners and operators, who are eligible, to gain access to a wide range of exclusive services, savings and useful information. You will also be kept up to date with the latest tourism news and developments. You'll receive our quarterly MANZ Edge publication covering news about people, events and analysing topical issues. Once you are a motel member of MANZ you will have special access to the Member News section of the website for information sharing and the networking resources available to you, via the Internet, 24 hours a day.
The general running of your motel can present a perceived minefield of laws, regulations and business issues. That's why we offer advice to members on issues such as:
- entering the motel industry: training, information and contacts and the lifestyle change involved;
- purchasing and leasing motels: issues to watch for and access to MANZ-accredited motel brokers;
- operating your motel: the association's Motel Operator's Handbook (the Blue Book) is an important aid in helping moteliers in their business. It is essential reading for all moteliers, whether recent entrants or experienced operators and is available to members for $35.00 (GST incl.).
- employment advice;
- insurance: access to accredited agents who offer special packages to MANZ members;
- tourism trends: from data obtained through Statistics New Zealand and Tourism New Zealand.
- Employment agreements
- Motel Sale and Purchase
The MANZ website is also an excellent facility to help members in operating their properties. There is a Member News section which contains a variety of useful information, for example, a range of sample Individual Employment Agreements which comply with the Employment Relations Act 2000. The website also features an exclusive Bulletin Board which allows any MANZ member to network with others to share ideas and seek guidance on any issues they may be facing.
With MANZ motel membership you will also be able to use the MANZ online Duty Motel system. This service allows you to easily share your accommodation availability with other motels. It has proved so successful that the system has now extended to include an online availability reservation system which is the official MANZ preferred supplier. Duty Motel is currently used by over 800 motels throughout New Zealand and many also use online booking which they have found very successful in maximizing occupancy rates, especially during busy periods of the year.
MANZ Motel membership also means your business can make significant savings with respect to:
- Telecommunications: Innovative services and competitive prices from TelstraClear(national and international tolls, land to mobile calls and 0800/0508 freephone lines);
- Reduced credit card commissions: reduced rates on ANZ or BNZ VISA or Mastercard transactions through an EFTPOS terminal;
- Special Diners Club card commission rate;
- Beds, linen, furnishings, merchandise, paint and redecoration services, rental equipment and generous discounts on many other commodities and services (including rental car and accommodation for when members go on holiday!);
- Lastly, MANZ keeps its members well informed and ahead of their competitors. Our quarterly publications MANZ Edge and The MANZ Bulletin contain updates on many topical issues, and provide useful tips and information. These printed publications are supplemented by our weekly electronic newsletter eMANZ NewZ, which contains the most current updates and news.
MANZ also has an exclusive alert system that is used to transmit urgent Police messages and warnings to all MANZ members, allowing them to take steps to protect themselves, their properties and their businesses from individuals who are either sought by or operate on the fringe of the law.
