Kia Ora !*FIRSTNAME*!,
Put this important date in your diary now:
Industry Forum: WED 8 JUNE, 1-5pm at Holiday Inn Hotel
It’s been a busy few months and much has happened recently that makes the notion of a Rotorua tourism industry get-together something that would be well timed about now.
In collaboration with Maori in Tourism Rotorua, and as promised by the Rotorua Tourism Committee, we’ve developed an update we think you will find stimulating and informative, including an opening presentation from Todd McClay outlining the government’s tourism perspective. See below for the full programme.
As you’ll have seen from recent communications, there’s a lot going on and being planned, so it’s important for us to get your feedback as we get you across it. There’ll also be more details of how you can be involved in some of the exciting projects in the pipeline.
And of course it’s also a long-overdue opportunity to catch-up with colleagues over some networking drinks afterwards as well.
Please register your attendance to Samantha Luther by clicking here: Register Now, or call her on 07 351 7100. Responses required by 12 noon on Friday 3 June.
We look forward to seeing you there!
