Lake Taupo - blessed with world class natural assets and a prime central location, there is no doubt the Lake Taupo area is one of New Zealand 's premier conference and incentive destinations.
Not only is the area centrally located on the shores of the largest crater lake in the Southern Hemisphere, it is also at the doorstep of Tongariro National Park , a World Heritage area, with ski fields, world famous trout fishing and countless other activities to suit every type of gathering.
Lake Taupo is determined to make the most of these assets and continues to develop new accommodation and conference facilities with 20 venues now catering for this market.
These have succeeded in attracting a good client-base from New Zealand 's corporate market. Ten conference venues are located in the region's largest town, which boasts three facilities capable of hosting 600-1000 people. The Turangi and Ruapehu region has a further 5 venues.
There is extensive accommodation available, often providing geothermally heated pools. Taupo has all the amenities of a major provincial centre, with a well appointed retail centre, offering a wide variety of shopping, numerous restaurants and bars with easy access and parking in the central business area.
All this is complemented by a picturesque setting, close to lake and nearby gardens. Professional expertise and supporting infrastructure in the Lake Taupo area are natural extensions to these facilities.
Lake Taupo offers the ability, not only to hold large conferences, but also to hold intimate meetings and top class incentive weekends, which can take full advantage of the trout fishing, skiing and other popular pursuits that the region is renowned for.
Lake Taupo also offers plenty of scope to get away from the city to enjoy such activities as boat cruises, canoeing, jet boating, rafting, sailing, tandem skydiving, bungy jumping, 4 wheel drive motorbikes, golf and volcanic scenic flights.
