Kylie Hawker-Green: MBIE NZ Major Events Manager on the impact of hosting the FIFA Women's World Cup in Auckland

Organisers of the FIFA Women's World Cup are thrilled with the legacy left by the event.  Auckland played a major role in the tournament by hosting nine matches.  Over $87 million in GDP was injected into the region's economy, surpassing the initial projection by just under 50%.  MBIE NZ Major Events Manager Kylie Hawker-Green told Mike Hosking that the event exceeded expectations.  She says the tournament boosted the economy in the quieter months of July and August.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
