Show Notes
Two of Wellington’s major foodie events are among those receiving fresh support from the Government’s Major Events and Tourism Package.
The funding round covers events across sports, food, culture and innovation.
Wellington On a Plate and Beervana are set for a boost - alongside Tauranga’s AIMS Games, Nelson’s arts festival and New Plymouth’s Winter Fest.
Wellington Culinary Events Trust general manager Penny de Borst says the funding will be used for talent attraction and marketing.
"We're bringing in some international chefs and that's an opportunity for our local hospitality community to learn from these chefs - and also for them to get New Zealand products into their hands."
