Rotorua
unaffected by the minor eruption of Mt
Tongariro
Rotorua was
unaffected by the minor eruption of Mt Tongariro last night
at 11.50pm and it is business as usual in the region which
is welcoming visitors.
Ash fell
around Mt Tongariro, a 2 hour drive (150km) from Rotorua,
and the latest assessment from GNS Science is that eruption
activity has subsided.
Regional Civil Defence is on alert and monitoring the situation.
Destination Rotorua Marketing general manager Oscar Nathan said the region’s tourism activities are still operating as per usual today.
“We are welcoming international and domestic visitors to Rotorua which is the birthplace of New Zealand tourism. Visitors can discover authentic culture and explore physical pursuits that will leave them both thrilled and inspired.”
