With New Zealand borders now open, West Coast operators have been actively working on welcoming back international visitors. We asked them to share their latest updates since our last newsletter.
Here’s a quick reminder of our tourism team:
- Patrick Dault, Destination & Tourism Manager

We’re here to help, so please feel free to contact any of us if you have any questions or need any information relating to the West Coast.
