The venue has been voted by the travel industry, media and public as Oceania’s leading conference centre at the awards that have celebrated excellence across all sectors of the international travel and tourism industry since 1993.

Te Pae Christchurch was recognised at the World Travel Awards Asia and Oceania Gala Ceremony held at InterContinental Grand Stanford in Hong Kong on 13 October 2025.

“To have our venue acknowledged on the world stage is a moment of immense pride and testament to the dedication, passion and excellence our team has poured into every event since we opened our doors just three and a half years ago,” says Ross Steele, general manager, Te Pae Christchurch Convention Centre.

“It is extraordinary to be held in such esteemed company.

“The work of the other finalists in our category has inspired and influenced us, and we’re extremely proud to stand alongside them.

“This recognition is not just for us – it’s for Christchurch, New Zealand.

“I would also like to pay tribute to our team; their dedication, tireless commitment and relentless pursuit of excellence made this global recognition possible.”
