Tourism on the West Coast is receiving a boost, with nearly $18 million for visitor hubs with digital displays telling the region's story.
The Provincial Growth Fund money will go to four hubs, at Haast, Hokitika, Greymouth and Westport, telling the cultural and historical stories of these areas.
"The Te Ara Pounamu pathways project will receive $17.87 million to support the roll out of state-of-the-art innovative digital technology to tell the West Coast's unique cultural and historical stories, for the first time, to Aotearoa New Zealand and the world," Under Secretary for Regional Economic Development Fletcher Tabuteau said.
