Calls for rethink after another flop at Tākina convention centre

From Morning Report, 8:40 am on 29 January 2025

There are calls for a rethink of the management and marketing of exhibitions at Wellington's Tākina convention centre, after it was revealed last year's Dr Who exhibition made a loss.

Last July RNZ reported the first two major exhibitions at Tākina, Jurassic World by Brickman and Marvel: Earth's Mightiest Exhibition failed to either break even or reach their target visitor numbers.

Hospitality New Zealand board member and owner of Trinity Group Holdings Jeremy Smith spoke to Corin Dann.
