According to STR Global figures, the event which commenced 9 September this year saw Wellington experience strong ADR growth with a 300 percent growth through the quarter finals which were held on 8 October this year.
Following the event, hotel performance dropped 16 percent compared to the same time last year and ADR retracting back to NZ$158, 0.6 percent less than it was two days before the quarter finals.
The report said that the trend indicated that people were visiting overnight for the matches but left the cities they were held in to continue their journey across New Zealand.
