Rotorua is set for a bumper summer season of events with one organiser saying the town has been humming as the weather warms up. Weekend markets, summer festivals, Christmas gatherings and sports events will fill every weekend in the city right through to the end of March.
More than 40,000 people were expected to attend the events, according to the Rotorua Lakes Council.
The Government is investing $3.75 million for regional events in Rotorua, Taupō, Waikato and Ruapehu.
Local regional tourism organisations, alongside their council partners, have worked together to develop a collaborative regional events investment plan for the next two to three years to bring more visitors to their regions.
