The promotion is designed to re-boot Auckland’s accommodation sector – particularly in the central city – and is the result of a collaboration with the industry, says Auckland Unlimited director of investment and industry Pam Ford.

‘Auckland’s accommodation providers have been hard hit by the pandemic for two years. Occupancy in February was less than 30%, compared to nearly 90% for the same month prior to Covid,’ says Ford.

‘We have worked with the industry to help kickstart the recovery through a timely reminder of the places to stay around our region, and an incentive for visitors and locals alike to do that.’
