Who's behind 'Share your local'?

‘Share your local’ is a region-wide campaign led by us, Nelson Regional Development Agency (NRDA), with support from Hospitality New Zealand. We invite locals to rediscover what is already on their doorstep; from cafés, hospitality venues and retailers to experiences, hidden gems and everyday local favourites.

As the official destination guide for Nelson Tasman, and our region’s economic development agency, we share what’s happening, where to go and the people doing great things across our region. From local deals and events to stories and hidden gems, it’s all about helping locals stay connected and rediscover their own backyard.
