Since 2016, the 8 Regions of the Central North Island have worked together to bring the eXplore Show to Auckland.

In 2027 the event expands to include the whole of the North Island with the addition of Kiwi North NZ partners.  eXplore kiwi North NZ will showcase the full 15 regions of the North Island.

This event leads in regional tourism marketing, inviting both new and established tourism operators to meet with tourism buyers and media from across New Zealand. It's a vibrant space for discovering fresh tourism products, making new connections, and growing business opportunities in a friendly atmosphere.
