The Prime Minister could follow Australia's lead in an attempt to boost overseas stays through major events.

A new report shows strong demand for hotels in the likes of Queenstown, but occupancy's down for Auckland and Wellington.

Big names in the tourism sector, like Sudima Hotels believe more events equals more hotel rooms booked. 

Christopher Luxon told Mike Hosking that he's been looking at a model that Australia's Victoria once used.

He says they had major events every quarter and micro-events every week, which is something to think about.
