MEMBERSHIP STRUCTURE

CINZ MEMBERSHIP

The current CINZ membership model offers four different categories of membership, ranging from $10,000 to $500, based on Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze memberships. A summary of each of these memberships is as follows:

Platinum Membership
It is envisaged that key industry stakeholders will be platinum members of CINZ and platinum membership will be offered to international airlines, large convention centres, major convention bureaux, international hotel chains and other significant key industry stakeholders involved in the convention industry. Platinum members will receive priority with all marketing activities and leads and will be involved on both a governance and marketing level in formulating policies and strategies for CINZ. Platinum members will also have priority of place in agreed international marketing initiatives on a user pays basis.

Gold Membership
Gold membership is available to operators who are involved in international convention marketing and will enable them to participate in international marketing initiatives and have input into international marketing strategies, as well as receiving international leads. This membership category would be appropriate for internationally focused PCOs, hotels and other operators who have products or services that are suitable for the international convention marketplace.

Silver Membership
This level of membership is aimed at domestic-focused operators, including hotels, PCOs and others who have no or little interest in the international marketplace.

Bronze Membership
Bronze membership is aimed at smaller, ancillary operators involved on the periphery of the industry, including activity operators, adventure operators etc., who have no or little involvement with the international convention marketplace.
