A renewed push for an Auckland bed tax, after a strong summer for its hotels.
They experienced a five-million-dollar boost, largely due to SailGP and country musician Luke Combs' Eden Park concerts in January.
CBRE Hotels and Leisure says an extra eight-thousand hotel rooms were booked over the four days.
Heart of the City Chief Executive, Viv Beck told Andrew Dickens she supports a bed tax, as a way to fund these events which bring people to Auckland.
She says it's thought that could contribute to the America's Cup - but time is of the essence, to get it across the line.
