The holiday park sector is a vital part of New Zealand's tourism industry, contributing to almost 25% of the country's commercial guest nights. In the year ending January 2025, holiday parks hosted an impressive 9.5 million guest nights, with 7.2 million from domestic travellers and 2.3 million from international visitors.

Holiday Parks hold a special place in many families hearts, offering great value accommodation and a place to make memories. However, like many businesses, we face challenges, especially in times when people's wallets are squeezed. It's crucial for us to innovate and be customer-focused. That's why our annual gathering is so important - it allows us to celebrate our achievements, share knowledge, and ideate the future together.

The Holiday Parks New Zealand Conference & Expo has become a cornerstone event for our sector.
