New Zealand: Food Service - Hotel Restaurant Institutional Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   NZ2024-0016
The Hotel, Restaurant, and Institutional (HRI) sector is seeing signs of recovery in New Zealand (NZ). However, aches and pains still exist. Meanwhile, NZ continues to recover from a cost-of-living crisis, which sadly caused restaurants to close their doors. At the same time, large hotel chains have developed a couple of new luxury hotels in the main cities. NZ’s open borders have increased tourism, giving a healthy boost to the HRI industry. NZ imports of U.S. consumer-oriented products have decreased slightly over the year. However, this decrease is due to “over-ordering” caused by freight and logistics challenges during the COVID years.
