TRENZ Talk 1 - Why should I attend TRENZ?

TRENZ is New Zealand’s largest international tourism business event and most important event of the year on the tourism events calendar. TRENZ brings hundreds of international Travel Buyers together to meet with New Zealand’s leading tourism operators (Sellers) over four days to build or renew relationships and negotiate business for upcoming seasons.

We’re excited to be heading to TRENZ at Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre, Ōtautahi Christchurch in 2023.

This week we cover off why you should attend Trenz.  We’re very excited that 2023 will see the first full Trenz since 2019 and the first in Ōtautahi Christchurch since 2006!
