How Minecraft’s Aotearoa Expansion Can Boost Local Tourism
Minecraft’s Aotearoa expansion, launched to coincide with the upcoming Minecraft: The Movie, brings Kapiti Island to millions of players worldwide. This project is more than just a digital experience—it’s a strategic opportunity for local businesses, tourism operators, and our wider economy.
A Global Audience, A Local Opportunity
This campaign positions Kapiti Island among New Zealand’s most iconic destinations, alongside Rotorua, Fiordland, and Waitomo. With Minecraft’s 140 million active players, the exposure is significant. The question is: how can we convert this digital buzz into real-world benefits for Kapiti?
