Te Puia shared a kōrero about the seasonal nature of tourism and what that means for a city like Rotorua, encouraging businesses to support each other over the winter months and to embrace initiatives or events, such as Te Puia’s Winter Hākari Nights and Matariki. The evening included a visit to Whakarewarewa Geothermal Valley where Pōhutu Geyser erupted, illuminated under the stars.
