NZ Tourism Operator Directory Discovery

Discovers New Zealand tourism operators from public regional tourism directory pages. It crawls supplied or default source pages one level deep, extracts operator links/cards, classifies activity type and region from surrounding evidence, deduplicates normalized URLs, and emits buyer-useful lead rows.

Inputs

• sourceUrls: Tourism homepages or directory pages to crawl.
• regions: Optional hints for known regional sources: Queenstown, Rotorua, Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch.
• useDefaultSources: Use built-in national and regional tourism sources when no explicit source or known region is supplied.
• maxItems: Maximum operator rows to emit.

Explicit sourceUrls are used as-is and do not silently mix in default sources.

Default discovery sources

• https://www.newzealand.com/
• https://www.queenstownnz.co.nz/
• https://www.rotoruanz.com/

Output fields

• recordType: Always tourismOperator.
• sourceUrl: Normalized page URL for the operator listing or website.
• businessName: Operator name inferred from link text.
• websiteUrl: Operator URL.
• region: Region inferred from evidence or source hostname.
• activityType: One of adventure, accommodation, food/wine, transport, guided tour, culture, nature/wildlife, or tourism.
• confidence: Evidence score from 0 to 1.
• evidenceText: Link text and nearby page context used for classification.
• capturedAt: ISO timestamp for the run.

Limitations

This actor uses static HTML link extraction and evidence scoring. JavaScript-only directory cards, hidden contact details, and pages blocked by source sites may need source-specific follow-up work. It does not enrich rows with private data or credentials.
