After a busy holiday period there is still no rest for Hawke's Bay accommodation providers as a range of sporting events come to town.
Visitors are already flocking to the region, which will be playing host to a number of sporting events in the next month, including international cricket games, the Summer Cycling Carnival, and the NZPGA Golf Pro-Am.
This begins tonight with the International Twenty20 Blackcaps vs Bangladesh game at McLean Park.
From tomorrow the annual Hawke's Bay Summer Cycling Carnival will be underway, with Napier's streets swarmed with cyclists of every level, ending this weekend with the Elite Road National Championships.
The four-day New Zealand under 19 Boys Softball Championships begin on Thursday at Akina Park, Hastings, then this weekend will be Hawke's Bay's turn to host the annual North Island Colgate Games at the Sports Park, a children's athletics competition which has been running for more than 30 years.
