Last week, Annie Dundas, director of destination at T\u0101taki Auckland Unlimited, said: \u201cIt\u2019s not every week you get to say Metallica and WIPCE in the same sentence, but that\u2019s exactly what makes Auckland such an exciting, world-class events city\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cFrom metal militia to educators, everyone contributes to the vibrancy of our region and the strength of our visitor economy. The energy they bring before, during and after these events, is felt in our streets, our hotels and our hospitality venues.\u201d <\/p>\n
