Tourism New Zealand has some explaining to do after it released a promotional video with a campervan on the wrong side of the road.
The Ultimate Road Trip campaign has been viewed more than 300,000 views on YouTube. The intro includes what appears to be a van driving down a South Island highway on the right-hand lane.

Tourism New Zealand spokeswoman Deborah Gray says the organisation is working as fast as it can to fix the error. Gray said the footage was edited by a visiting videographer.
“Tourism New Zealand is taking all steps it can to keep visitors safe on our roads so are extremely disappointed in this oversight,” she said. “The drivers are in fact driving on the correct side, but the image has been flipped.”
