“We are rallying around the community of Christchurch and are dedicated to offering all the support we can to help make the hotel a success,” says Belsham. “Christchurch continues to welcome visitors with open arms, and Best Western and Jason and his partner Tina are delighted to be able to assist with this important work.”

The conveniently located property is a short drive to both the Riccarton Park Racecourse and the University of Canterbury.

“We look forward to showcasing our fine new property to guests and Best Western Rewards members”.

Perry encourages travellers to continue to support the city.

“Having just returned from a visit to Christchurch, my key takeout is that the community and hotel industry are very resilient and are working hard to get back to a business as usual position. If there’s one thing we can help them with, it’s promoting to all Australians that Christchurch is open for the business and they shouldn’t hesitate to visit – now!”
