MIQ struggle sees popular Summer Concert Tour cancelled
Getting international artists through MIQ has proved too difficult for the Summer Concert Tour, forcing the cancellation of its 2022 events.
Greenstone Entertainment has announced the popular January tour, which visits Taupō, Whitianga and Queenstown, has been cancelled for the first time in 12 years due to Covid restrictions.
It’s anticipated to come as a big blow to the towns’ economies. The Taupō leg alone, which usually sells out well in advance, attracting some 15,000 people to the tourist town which brings in more than $30 million annually from hosting large scale events.
A spokesperson said the decision was made with regret but, due to issues with New Zealand’s MIQ system, it’s been left with no choice.
