September 9 marks one year to the start of the 2011 Rugby World Cup here in
It also marks the launch of the REAL New Zealand Festival, which will be our biggest ever. It will be a celebration of our culture, people, and landscapes. We have committed $9.5 million of Lotteries funding to support it.
We’re also working with industries and businesses to develop a sector showcasing programme to strengthen exports, tourism, and partnerships. Industries from food and wine through to renewable energy have built events to show their innovation and creativity.
Not only will these initiatives enrich the experience of the 85,000 expected visitors, they will boost our economy and pride in what’s in our own backyard.
