"The contribution business events make, and the high-value visitors this sector attracts will be crucial to the prosperity of New Zealand," she said.

TNZ’s Global Manager for Business Events, Lisa Gardiner said a key focus of the renewed partnership would be TNZ’s expertise in the management of international tradeshows as a platform to showcase the industry to the world.
“We are excited to include the Asia Pacific Incentives and Meetings Event (AIME) as part of that portfolio," she said.
"This has traditionally been managed by CINZ and we welcome their partnership, as we continue New Zealand’s loyalty to this event and the opportunities it provides to our industry to engage with customers.
"Tourism New Zealand will continue to drive global marketing activity in support of the sector and operate the Conference Assistance Programme (CAP) as a key tool in securing large scale international conferences."
