New ‘Experience Centres’ to boost West Coast tourism
Parliamentary Under Secretary Fletcher Tabuteau is no stranger to the Coast. He gave his first State of the Nation speech at our Arahura Marae in February of this year.
He recently returned bearing gifts with the announcement that the West Coast had been given an $18 million boost with four new Government-funded visitor experience centres.
The new experience centres will be part of a ‘pounamu pathway’ for New Zealand and international visitors to learn about the West Coast’s culture and history.
Fletcher made the announcement at the Arahura Marae near Hokitika on Tuesday last week. He said the $17.87m state-of-the-art tourist attractions would be built in Haast, Hokitika, Greymouth and Westport.
Bruce Smith talks with Fletcher Tabuteau about the new centres and Government’s funding of these:
