Tourism doing well in Wairarapa
The Wairarapa is bucking a national trend as the only region in the country to to experience a growth, in a sector ravaged by New Zealand’s Covid response.
Wairarapa enjoyed a two per cent growth in tourism numbers for the year until July 31, while every other area was well into negative territory.
Not traditionally a destination for the international travelling crowd, Wairarapa’s wine, great outdoors and events are hoovering up domestic tourists.
