Tourism Industry Seminar Heads South
Tourism pumps well over $180 million into the economy of the Southland region each year and a tourism industry seminar being held in Invercargill on 18 October aims to help local operators increase that contribution.
Tourism accounts for a significant sector of the local economy, and supports numerous businesses and jobs throughout the region.
"Tourism is vital part of Southland's - and New Zealand's - economy but we can do more to maximise the yield from the one and a half million visits international and domestic travellers make to the Southland region each year," Tourism Industry Association New Zealand (TIA) Chief Executive Fiona Luhrs says.
