PT2. Why your event matters to the community you select. Take a minute to tune in to this breakdown by Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau and Visit Miami. The impact of meetings, events, and bleisure tourism runs deep throughout the communities that host them.

As a business association, we were concerned from the initial discussions around the Brynderwyns being closed - and the lack of engagement with the people this is so closely going to affect. We called a meeting, with everyone at the table we could think of to pull together a hive mind & come up with not just solutions, as we were well aware the solution is the road needs fixing, but to point out the constant issues we fight with communication, within our region & through the country. Post this meeting, a steering group was formed, which we as an association were not invited to be a part of - however we were informed all the right people were there & that communication was a priority. A survey was sent out to the region, asking about two dates for closure & the support around each. We now find that the option selected by Waka Kotahi, is some strange hybrid - where by they it seems they think we will be grateful for a random few days in the middle where the road will be open to allow traffic movement over Easter. Still, all we know about the alternative routes are that “crews are working to prepare”. In ten weeks this work is now confirmed to start. I hope we hear more ASAP about how Northland Businesses & Tourism will be supported through this time and this is widely communicated to ensure we as a region do not suffer from the mismanagement & underinvestment in our region.

What springs to mind when you think of working collaboratively? Is it headaches and heartaches? Or is it a chance to work in a more strategic fashion for the greater good? It should be the latter. It had been a while since I had been in Belleek Pottery. Last week I had the opportunity to go there and have a tour, whilst also working on a tourism cluster project. The conversations that already started to flow. The links that people made. The knowledge people share. These are all positives. And it has only just started. #tourismdevelopment #tourismclusters #clustering
