48220 (2025). Glen Bennett to the Minister for Tourism and Hospitality: What are the full eligibility criteria, if any, for the Events Attraction Package?

Hon Louise Upston: The Events Attraction Package is designed to support high-impact events that draw large audiences and international visitors – including major sporting, music, and cultural events. Rather than an open application process, MBIE will work collaboratively with industry leaders and independent event experts to proactively identify events that align with the package’s objectives.
