The redevelopment of Taupō Airport is well underway and last Tuesday Tourism Minister Stuart Nash called in to take a look.
The airport redevelopment includes a new, larger terminal building and a new carpark. Mr Nash said he was excited to see the project taking shape.
“Tourism is so much more than just attractions, it’s about building infrastructure that meets or exceeds the expectations of people flying in and out. For a lot of people this is the first thing they will see when they arrive into Taupō and so it’s got to be world class and it’s got to reflect what Taupō really is,” Mr Nash said.
“This new terminal is going to be all that and I can’t wait to see it finished.”
