Measuring the Economic Impact of Summer 2012-13

The Bay of Islands is a popular destination for many holiday makers over the summer period. The Kerikeri business community is well aware of this and spends considerable effort planning for Christmas and summer.
To support this planning the Kerikeri District Business Association (KKDBA) is undertaking the first survey of its kind to understand exactly what happened during this period in Kerikeri and Waipapa and then compare this with national industry data.
“Businesses need all the help they can get during these challenging times. By understanding both what happened and why, we are better placed to create an environment and community that will attract customers.” explains Mr Vokes, President of the KKDBA.
In mid-April, findings will be published online at kerikeri.co. For more information please email .”
