NRDA Launches New Spring Holiday Challenge For Local’s Programme ‘PLAY Nelson Tasman’

After launching in June this year, PLAY Nelson Tasman has seen over 1,000 locals get involved in playing various games around Nelson Tasman as a different way to experience their backyard.

This week Nelson Regional Development Agency (NRDA/Nelson Tasman NZ) have released a new game for the school holidays; a Spring Holiday Challenge to encourage families across the region, and their visiting friends and families, to tick off as many challenges as possible over the next two weeks.

The latest game includes over 50 new challenges, showcasing some of the best ways to experience Nelson Tasman during the Spring season. The challenges cover creative ways to explore local’s backyard, and include challenges specific to 37 businesses in hospitality, retail, events and tourism industries in order to encourage locals to support local businesses these holidays.

“We really enjoyed seeing how much fun locals had with the previous games so are delighted to be able to create a new game for this time of the year and continue to build the PLAY Nelson Tasman platform” says Fiona Wilson, CE of Nelson Regional Development Agency. “We encourage everyone to have a go at this new game and show their support for our local businesses.”

The three-week Spring Holiday Challenge will inspire families in the region with ideas to get the kids out of the house during the school holidays and compete in fun and colourful Spring themed challenges that will require plenty of creativity and regional roaming.
