Hospitality NZ advocates on your behalf with National and Local Government, as well as key industry stakeholders, to ensure that our members' concerns and views are clearly heard. This includes regular in-person meetings and the written submissions you'll find below.

We speak for a sector that directly contributes $6.8 billion to New Zealand’s economy and supports 137,000 jobs. The halo effect of hospitality contributes to nearly triple the economic output and double the number of jobs.
