The $50 million Regional Events Fund is designed to stimulate domestic tourism and travel between regions through holding events. This is intended to support the tourism and events sector, and replace some of the spending from international tourists due to the border closure as a result of COVID-19.
The Business Events Activity Survey monitored and benchmarked the performance of more than 300 professional conferencing and meeting venues in New Zealand from 2009 to 2019.
The Innovation Programme for Tourism Recovery is a contestable fund for projects that will have meaningful impact across the tourism system.
The Events Boost Fund is a one-off $10 million fund which aims to increase international visitation and drive economic activity in the short-term through supporting the growth and promotion of events.
