TRENZ, New Zealand’s biggest tourism trade show, will be held at the Tākina Wellington Conference and Exhibition Centre for the first time in 2024 - running from 8th to 10th May.

Each year TRENZ brings hundreds of international travel buyers, sellers and media delegates together to meet with New Zealand’s leading tourism operators.

TRENZ creates significant economic benefits for the host region, with more than 1500 people attending the event. Delegates stay with local accommodation providers, experience local tourism attractions, and many spend extended time in the region.

The format for 2024 has been remodelled to allow for more time before and after the business meetings for exploration and discovery of the capital city. 

Wellington Mayor Tory Whanau says it is fantastic that Wellington will be hosting TRENZ for the first time, noting "we can’t wait to welcome domestic and international manuhiri to Te Whanganui-a-Tara and for them to experience first-hand all that New Zealand’s capital city has to offer. Wellington is known for its vibrant culture and iconic events and we’re looking forward to sharing our city, Tākina and the manaakitanga of our people.”

How to get involved
TRENZ is managed by Tourism Industry Aotearoa (TIA) as the authorised agent of the Tourism Industry New Zealand Trust, supported by Tourism New Zealand and in partnership with Air New Zealand.

TIA members receive preferential rates to attend, as well as the profile and credibility associated with belonging to New Zealand's largest tourism association.

Registrations to attend TRENZ 2024 are by invitation. Organisations selling New Zealand tourism products must meet strict criteria to ensure they are eligible to represent New Zealand tourism to an international audience.

Buyers will be coming from all of New Zealand’s major markets and are selected for the high-quality visitors they bring to New Zealand.
