Loren Aberhart: Christchurch NZ Head of Destination and Attraction on the unlikeliness of the city hosting a second Commonwealth Games

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - Un pódcast de Newstalk ZB - Miercoles

A second Commonwealth Games in Christchurch is unlikely for now.  Mayor Phil Mauger requested a report on the viability of bidding for the event on the 50th anniversary of the 1974 edition's opening ceremony.  It recommends Christchurch doesn't host a standalone event until a national bid is considered.  Christchurch NZ's Head of Destination and Attraction, Loren Aberhart told Mike Hosking there's accommodation and transport constraints associated with hosting, and many extra costs.  She says the city would need to invest in sporting infrastructure that it doesn't need in the long term.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
