TRENZ 2023 wrapped up a busy week with a farewell function at the Ilex in the Christchurch Botanic Gardens.
Hundreds of delegates attended Thursday evening’s event to enjoy some of the best food and beverage from Canterbury and the West Coast as well as performances from local artists.
The day began with the TRENZ Talks event, which featured a series of speakers presenting on global trends and their impacts on tourism.
Tourism Industry Aotearoa said TRENZ was expected to have generated $174 of economic impact a minute over the past four days, with ongoing benefits to Christchurch and New Zealand tourism.
“It’s been a busy few days with people renewing existing relationships or forming new ones all of which will help our tourism industry prosper,” TIA chief executive Rebecca Ingram said.
“We’ve had some great discussions and tourism in Aotearoa New Zealand has a very bright future.”
