Auckland and the New Zealand International Convention Centre 3
NZ International Convention Centre – Government announcement For well over a decade the convention industry has recognised the need for a national convention centre, with numerous reports and studies having been commissioned, including some by the Auckland City Council In July 2010 the MED called for expressions of interest for delivering the NZICC. This expression of interest was open to all parties. SKYCITY was selected by the NZ Government as its preferred developer of a 3,500 seat New Zealand International Convention Centre on 12 June 2011 SKYCITY’s proposed 3,500 -seat New Zealand International Convention Centre will give New Zealand an opportunity to compete in a significant growth market Allow Auckland to compete with other cities in Australia and South East Asia Create around 1,000 construction jobs during its development Once fully operational, create around 800 new jobs and Inject an estimated $90 million a year of extra spending by international visitors into the NZ economy 4
Benefits for Auckland and New Zealand The New Zealand International Convention Centre will generate significant economic benefits for Auckland and New Zealand 183,000 expected total delegates to Auckland generating approximately 350,000 delegate days (Source: Horwath) These delegates will generate an additional 101,000 visitor nights for Auckland. Convention visitors spend more than $650 per night in Auckland, around double the average visitor spend Auckland International airport will benefit from the expected 28,000 international arrivals annually NZICC is a critical piece of infrastructure to create a step-change in the conventions segment and act as a catalyst for other tourism infrastructure growth including additional hotels, restaurants, bars, retail and attractions. 5
Benefits for Auckland and New Zealand, cont The development will be an important step towards making Auckland an events capital and a visitor destination (consistent with ATEED’s strategy and Tourism NZ’s strategy) Bring conferences to Auckland that exceed 1,000 delegates, which currently do not come to NZ Currently New Zealand attracts just 30 of the world’s 8000 major conferences each year New NZICC will ensure Auckland can compete against Australian cities in the international convention market Consistent with the Mayor’s vision for Auckland being the world’s most liveable city and “not second cousins to Melbourne and Sydney” (Mayor Len Brown, Economic Forum, 4 July 2011 ) 6
