THANKS TO OUR 2026 BYATA CONFERENCE PARTNERS
Nestled on the eastern side of New Zealand's North Island, our Coastal Bay of Plenty region has stunning beaches, a vibrant city, several charming towns, and an exciting array of activities and events. Explore our cultural history, try authentic flavours, and enjoy the warmth and hospitality of our people. Let the natural scenery refresh your soul. There's always something happening - let's plan your next adventure!
As recipients of the 2025 Tourism Industry Aotearoa Visitor Experience Award, Tourism Excellence Award, and Supreme Tourism Award, Te Puia is committed to delivering experiences that are relevant, meaningful, and world class.
We value the insights and connections gained through previous BYATA conferences, and 2026 marks our first year supporting this important industry gathering as a sponsor. A guiding question in our transformation was, "If we are not relevant to our young people… to rangatahi, then who are we relevant to?" This thinking led to Geyser by Night, and we are delighted to share our journey with BYATA delegates as we launch the new season of Mārama Geyser Light Trails.
