A Rotorua woman has made the finals for the Travel Agents' Association of New Zealand National Travel Industry Awards 2016.
Rotorua Hello World owner/manager Deborah Kay is one of three finalists for Best Travel Agency Manager, retail division.
Mrs Kay said her general manager nominated her in secret and she did not find out until she had made the finals.
"I'm very honoured for the nomination and to get into the final."
She said she now had to put together a presentation on why she deserved to win, which she would give to a panel of five judges in July.
