TRENZ is New Zealand’s largest international tourism business event and the most important event of the year on the tourism events calendar. TRENZ brings hundreds of international travel Buyers together to meet with New Zealand’s leading tourism operators (Sellers) over three days to build or renew relationships and negotiate business for upcoming seasons.

TRENZ 2024 will be held at Tākina Wellington Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Wellington’s sustainable future and environmental sustainability and resilience are at the heart of the design and construction of Tākina.
