VX In A Changing World summit heads to Auckland in November

Tourism Industry Aotearoa has announced this year’s Tourism Summit Aotearoa will be held in Auckland.

One of the industry’s premier thought leadership events, the Summit will be held on  November 6 at Cordis Auckland, followed in the evening by the prestigious New Zealand Tourism Awards gala dinner.

Chief Executive, Rebecca Ingram, says it is wonderful to be bringing the Summit to the country’s economic heart.

“Auckland is New Zealand’s number one visitor gateway, the launching pad for many adventures, so it’s very appropriate to host this flagship tourism event there.”

The theme for the Summit is Visitor Experience (VX) in a Changing World, offering a full day of inspiration and practical knowledge about how VX and customer experience is evolving.

This builds on the Summit theme in 2023 that explored the role of technology in tourism.

“We’ve got a host of inspiring speakers, activities and workshops lined up that will make those attending really think about the way visitors experience New Zealand and the developing trends that can help keep us at the top of satisfaction ratings,” Ms Ingram says.

Both the Summit and the New Zealand Tourism Awards are open to members and non-members of TIA.  More information will follow, including the opening date for award entries at the end of May.
