The Mighty Waikato
Hamilton & Waikato Tourism promotes the Waikato as a preferred destination for domestic and international business, events, and leisure travellers.
Passionate about sharing the stories, landscapes, and people that make our region truly unforgettable, their role is to attract both domestic and international visitors to the Waikato by encouraging them to stay longer, explore further, and experience more. Through smart destination marketing, development, and management, they help grow a thriving visitor economy that benefits everyone who calls the Waikato home.
From world-class events and business gatherings to unforgettable leisure adventures, Hamilton & Waikato Tourism champions the regionâs diverse experiences. These include the worldâs longest left-hand surf break here in WhÄingaroa, the glowworm wonders of Waitomo Caves, the cultural heart of Hamilton Kirikiriroa, and the charming rural towns that make the Waikato distinctive.
As leaders in regional tourism, they support product and event
development, investment, and industry capability to ensure the Waikato continues to grow sustainably and competitively. At the heart of it all, they are storytellers and ambassadors, inspiring connection between visitors and our land, our people, and our culture.
Every visit, every stay, and every experience contributes to the economic, social, environmental, and cultural wellbeing of our communities. With Hamilton & Waikato Tourismâs support, weâre building a vibrant future for sustainable tourism.
