2022 brings a new wave of challenges for the New Zealand hospitality industry as COVID 19’s latest variant, Omicron, reaches our shores. This month we invited industry leaders, Stuart Nash, MP; Chris Roberts outgoing CEO of Tourism Industry Aotearoa, and Restaurant Association CEO Marisa Bidois, to present their views on the current and future pathway to reconnection and recovery.
February also welcomes three key foodie favourites with the return of the Great Toastie Challenge taking off again; Chefs competing for the coveted title of Beef + Lamb Ambassador, and a new vegan competition seeking entries for the FebNoDairy awards!
And once again Kiwi ingenuity has been met with international recognition with a new coffee roaster designed in Dunedin and manufactured in Christchurch gaining respect at the World Brewers Competition.
