The Dream Team

Bonita Burnett
Marketing Manager

Career in the Travel Industry
My first job in travel, fresh out of study, was as an Ostrich Farm Tour Guide back in the late 90s. It’s been hard to top that one for uniqueness, but since then I’ve been fortunate to experience many sides of the travel industry, from travel consulting and head office operations to marketing, events, and even working on a luxury travel magazine.
Travel has always been an industry I love, and so after a short break to focus on our health business, I’m thrilled to be back into it, sharing and promoting the incredible experiences and destinations that Innovative Travel offers.
 
Recent most interesting trip
The last few years have been more focused on exploring closer to our new home in Northland - but I'm very excited to take my boys to South Africa in January 2027 - it will be their 1st trip back to SA and it's always lovely to experience a new place through your kids' eyes.

Bonita's top destinations
Greek Islands - Love, love, love! In fact, I'm probably a sucker for any island as I adored Zanzibar, Fiji & Cook Islands too. Just amazing!
Türkiye - Spectacular in every way! The food, the culture, the people... fabulous all around.
Good old Europe - I have a seriously soft spot for Europe in general and never get tired of going!
 

Bonita's travel tips
Slow down, see less and enjoy it more rather than your trip being one big blur.
Be sure to have a pashmina or similar on hand - you'll be surprised how often you use it.
