A new promotional video to raise the profile of Oamaru and the Waitaki district in the domestic tourism market was launched this week. Oamaru and the Waitaki district are being showcased on Neat Places, a website and app listing things to do and see in a select number of cities and towns in New Zealand. The campaign to feature Oamaru and Waitaki received up to $16,387 from the Waitaki District Council’s Covid-19 economic resilience fund and was also funded by featured local businesses, chosen by Neat Places. Oamaru restaurateur Yanina Tacchini and artist Helen Riley-Duddin initiated the promotion by applying for the funding from the council’s $2 million support and stimulus package.
