“With both the Brynderwyns and Mangamuka roads closed, it’s the perfect opportunity to encourage domestic visitors to explore our town and bolster our local economy,” Kirby said.
He said it would showcase the area to the whole of Northland and let them know what the Far Far North had to offer.
Kirby said he hoped residents would get out and support the tour at its various stop-offs and show how proud they were of their town.
“We’re encouraging them to stop at a few extra places along the way like Ka’Uri in Awanui, Manaaki Cafe in Kaitāia and more. They’ll interview those businesses, record some content, and experience the Far North,” he said.
On Thursday, they’ll broadcast live from Te Ahu Atrium from 6am to 10am, playing content from the previous day, and give away prizes, and Kirby is encouraging people to go down to show their support.
