7 minutes to read It was a busy long weekend for many of Tauranga s tourism and hospitality providers - but they and business leaders remain uncertain what the future holds as the absence of international tourists leaves a big hole in the local economy.
Auckland Anniversary weekend saw a wide range of popular events for the city, including the First We Eat festival, Dinner in the Park and Rangoli at the Mount.
