Your Host, Wellington<\/h1>\n\t

Wellington is the capital of New Zealand and\u00a0seat of Government. Wellington is a magnet\u00a0for creative thinkers and is widely regarded as\u00a0New Zealand’s arts and culture capital.<\/p>\n

There’s prolific public art, fabulous and funky boutique and a show on pretty much every night. But as well as all that arty stuff, Wellington’s loved for its\u00a0gastronomic delights. You might say they like their food and they like it good.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you need to walk off all that goodness, you’re also in luck. Wellington is a\u00a0capital city right on nature’s doorstep, with a peaceful walk through native bush\u00a0or along a golden sand beach never far from the urban hub.<\/p>\n

How many times have you taken your running shoes to a conference, but never\u00a0made it to the gym? In Wellington, your delegates can exercise and see the\u00a0sights at the same time. A hike up Mount Victoria for panoramic views of the city,\u00a0or a stroll through the Botanic Garden are just a few minutes’ walk away from the\u00a0inner city hotels.<\/p>\n

International guests also love the stories of nationhood and heritage as told at\u00a0the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, Parliament Buildings and the\u00a0region’s many boutique museums. Others just like to take their shoes off and\u00a0sit on the golden sand on Oriental Bay with a good strong flat white. Who could\u00a0blame them?<\/p>\n
