Rotorua's beautiful scenery will be revealed to the world in a new TV series.

Rotorua is one of 10 centres across in the country, including Auckland, Taupo, Wellington, Wanaka and Queenstown, that feature in the Travel Channels RV Rampage series, which premieres this Thursday.

The series, filmed last year, is expected to be broadcast in 130 countries, reaching an estimated 200 million viewers around the globe.

The 10-part series is hosted by seasoned Travel Channel host and presenter of Worlds Greatest Motorcycle Rides Henry Cole, alongside broadcaster Amanda Byram of Total Wipeout and Big Breakfast fame.

In the show, the presenters host five international teams of two, who battle it out against a backdrop of stunning scenery and coastline to be crowned the ultimate adventurer.

The teams journey in RVs and undertake challenges designed to immerse them in the culture and lifestyle of New Zealand.

A Tourism New Zealand spokesman said New Zealand catered for every kind of visitor, whether they were looking for adventure sports or a winery tour.

This series will showcase the diversity and provide global exposure which is a real coup, he said.
