Topic: Rotorua in top 4 summer destinations in NZ

Enquiry

Just getting reaction from this article which states Hamilton has been awarded the top summer destination.

But the good news is Rotorua came fourth! Have already got comment from Tauranga mayor so just wanting to match that from Rotorua perspective.

If I could please have the comment back by 10am that would be great. Doesn't need to be any longer than two sentences.

Response

From Rotorua Mayor Steve Chadwick:

It's not surprising to see Rotorua near the top - all of the wonderful things that attract people to our district keep evolving, ensuring Rotorua remains a favourite domestic and international destination. It's certainly been a busy summer and there are still plenty of visitors around now.

Visitors to Rotorua have always been spoilt for choice when it comes to accommodation - we've always had a wide range of options including home stays, bed and breakfast, short-term rentals, motels, holiday parks and hotels.

The Bookabach type of accommodation has become popular over the years with both Kiwis and overseas visitors - people like the personal touch and the personal space.
