There are hopes Auckland's new International Convention Centre will be a huge drawcard for international delegates.
A Business Events Industry Aotearoa report reveals the sector delivered $925 million for the economy last year.
It shows international delegates here for conferences spent $645 daily on average – higher than holiday visitors.
CEO Lisa Hopkins told Mike Hosking they’re in growth mode with the new convention centre coming online.
She says they now have a strong suite of convention centres across the country, which gives them a broader opportunity to take businesses of different sizes, different needs, and different requirements.
