Join us for the Lake Taupō Manaakitanga Hui 2026, a regional industry event designed to bring together tourism operators, hospitality businesses, retail teams, and industry stakeholders across the Taupō visitor economy.
The Love Taupō Manaakitanga Hui aims to strengthen collaboration across the local tourism sector and create opportunities for businesses to connect, share knowledge, and promote their tourism products.
The programme will include three key components:
Tourism Summit – “Power of Unity”
A one-day conference exploring the wider tourism landscape in Aotearoa New Zealand and highlighting the importance of regional collaboration within the visitor economy.
