AI summary
The New Zealand Government is seeking proposals to restore and operate the historic Chateau Tongariro. The landmark hotel in Tongariro National Park closed in February 2023 following a seismic risk assessment.
The Department of Conservation (DOC) has now opened a Request for Proposals (RFP) to find an experienced operator. Successful proposals must balance commercial viability with conservation and cultural values. Reopening the chateau aims to boost local tourism and restore significant economic benefits to the Ruapehu region.
Chateau Tongariro has been closed since early-2023.
Ruapehu Mayor Weston Kirton has been a strong advocate for the chateau.
