AI summary
The Government is seeking proposals from experienced operators to restore and run the historic Chateau Tongariro. The landmark hotel in Tongariro National Park closed in February 2023 after a seismic assessment deemed it a high risk, impacting local tourism.
A Request for Proposals (RFP) is now open to find a commercially viable partner who will also respect conservation and cultural values. Reopening the iconic building is seen as crucial for boosting the regional economy and visitor numbers.
Chateau Tongariro has been closed since early-2023.
Ruapehu Mayor Weston Kirton has been a strong advocate for the chateau.
