TRENZ 2026 is kicking off at the New Zealand International Convention Centre in Auckland.

The tourism industry hopes to lure big names and even bigger events after two new venues opened this year.

The NZ International Convention Centre in Auckland hosted more than 1000 tourism delegates for TRENZ this week.

Further south, concerts and rugby have kicked off in Christchurch's long-awaited Te Kaha stadium.
