As part of the preparation for the HOST Accommodation conference, Chris Lee - HOST Business Development Manager prepares himself to be launched from a ledge 175 metres above Mokai Gravity Canyon before racing down a 1-kilometre zip-line at speeds up to 160 kilometres per hour!
Group bonding at Mokai Gravity Canyon and interacting with the Tui Girls at the Tui Brewery at Mangatainoka were a few activities that were enjoyed by HOST moteliers at the HOST Conference last weekend.
HOST has cemented itself as New Zealand's most successful accommodation referral group. To attract over 50% of their members to a conference in Palmerston North in recessionary times AND in the middle of Winter is a remarkable feat.

HOST Accommodation shrugs off recession
While we are aware that other Hotel and Motel marketing groups are cutting back on annual gatherings, a record number of HOST Accommodation members gathered in Palmerston North for their annual conference.
Host Accommodation has a network of 80 member properties throughout New Zealand and it was remarkable that over half the membership made the journey to gather in Palmerston North for a weekend of networking, education and fun!
Organiser and Business Development Manager of Host Accommodation said "This was fantastic conference with some excellent guest speakers and enthusiasm created by the group. The future for Host Accommodation is very positive with the successful 12th Night Free Bonus programme continuing to drive business to our member properties. The momentum created and positive discussions held will no doubt generate more referrals and business throughout the group.
The Host Accommodation Group with its proactive marketing strategies and passionate membership are shrugging off the recession and looking forward to the future."
