Te Puia|NZMACI introduces free WiFi
Connecting with loved ones and sharing unique experiences is now even easier for manuhiri (visitors) to Te Puia|New
Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute (NZMACI), with the launch of a new, free WiFi service on site in Te
Whakarewarewa Valley in Rotorua.
The free WiFi service is available across the entire site, including the world-famous Pohutu Geyser lookout, the Kiwi
House and Ngāraratuatara Cooking Pool.
Te Puia General Manager Sales and Marketing, Kiri Atkinson-Crean, says establishing free WiFi has been a key priority
for the attraction, following the introduction of the free smartphone app, STQRY, late last year which provides visitors
with extra multimedia experiences.
“In this new electronic age, being able to access WiFi services is important for our manuhiri. It allows them to connect
with friends and whānau and instantly share their experiences whilst they are here with us,” says Ms Atkinson-Crean.
“The new WiFi service means manuhiri can quickly and easily get online, either on a laptop or handheld device, to check
emails, use social media or just to surf the internet. We know this sort of service will further enhance the visitor
experience at Te Puia|NZMACI.
“We have embraced the WiFi trend to allow our manuhiri to stay connected to their online world. Most of our visitors are
from overseas and would incur huge data costs without it.”
Visitors to Te Puia|NZMACI can simply log on to the service by searching for the free WiFi in their connection settings
and entering the provided authentication code.
