TRENZ 2020 Cancelled


Tourism Industry Aotearoa (TIA) and the Tourism Industry New Zealand Trust (TINZT)
are deeply disappointed to announce the cancellation of TRENZ 2020.

Only a short time ago we felt optimistic that May was far enough away to confidently
proceed with TRENZ 2020, however, the New Zealand Government has made the call
that all large public events and gatherings should be cancelled as part of New Zealand’s
national response to COVID-19.

We have been working through the details with the host region and our insurers and can
now confirm that TRENZ 2020 is cancelled.

We know that this will come as an enormous disappointment both to the delegates who
were due to attend the show and the team who delivers it every year. However, the
health and welfare of New Zealanders and visitors must remain the priority for all.

The TRENZ team is working through next steps and will be in touch as soon as possible
with more details. Please be patient as we work through this process.

We are well aware of the forward impact cancelling TRENZ 2020 will have on tourism
operators. We are investigating ways to support the industry through this challenging
time.

We appreciate the uncertainty that the travel restrictions have had on our international
buyers and we greatly appreciate their patience and understanding. We look forward to
hosting them at TRENZ in New Zealand in 2021.

TIA and the TINZT are greatly appreciative of your understanding. Our thoughts are with
those affected by COVID-19 and we are thankful for the efforts of those working to
prevent and contain the spread of the virus.

We will be updating the TRENZ website regularly so please keep checking back for more
information. Please see our updated FAQs. The most up-to-date advice around COVID19 can be found through the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade
and TIA’s website.
