Pan Pacific group plans second hotel
PA Auckland Tokyu Hotels International says it hopes to build another hotel in New Zealand after its Pan Pacific Auckland Hotel is running satisfactorily. The Mayor of Auckland, Dame Cath Tizard, performed the topping-off ceremony for the 286room hotel in Mayoral Drive. Some 100 rooms of the $l5O million hotel are expected to be opened by December 20 and the project is due to be completed by mid-March. An assistant general manager of Tokyu Hotels, Mr Moto Yamazaki, said the Japanese company
wanted to build a hotel probably in Christchurch or Queenstown in three or four years. He said the Auckland hotel would increase the flow of Japanese visitors. Mr Keisaku Kobayashi, the senior managing director of the giant Tokyu Corporation, who spoke at the ceremony of which the hotel group is a subsidiary, said the international undertaking symbolised a bridge between Japan and New Zealand.
“We will make every effort to promote it (the Auckland hotel) as a beacon for tourism developed in New Zealand,” he said.
