‘My places’ campaign urges locals to support region’s businesses through winter
A new region-wide campaign has been launched to encourage Nelson Tasman residents to support local businesses facing economic pressures ahead of a challenging winter.
The "My places" campaign, led by the Nelson Regional Development Agency (NRDA) with support from Hospitality New Zealand, is focused on inspiring local discovery. Rising fuel costs, tighter household budgets, and softer visitor activity were currently affecting many local retailers, cafés, and hospitality venues.
As winter was the quietest period for the local visitor economy - making up just 15% of annual visitor spend - the agency was urging locals to redirect their discretionary spending back into the region.
NRDA chief executive Fiona Wilson said the campaign was about strengthening community connection while helping drive visibility for businesses during the quieter winter months.
"We know many businesses across the region are feeling the pressure right now," Wilson said.
"This campaign is about encouraging people to reconnect with the places and experiences that make Nelson Tasman special.”
