STUDENT INVASION
12.04.2008
They're NZ's worst neighbours and thousands are heading our way ... but we're ready for them, say Rotorua police.
By MATTHEW MARTIN
Thousands of students descending on Rotorua for the 2008 University Games are being welcomed with open arms by bars and businesses set to cash in. The games are expected to bring about 2000 athletes and another 500 supporters to Rotorua for four days with the opening ceremony to be held at the Waiariki Institute of Technology campus on Monday night. Rotorua is expected to benefit to the tune of up to $5 million in revenue.
It's the first time in their 106-year history the New Zealand University Games, previously known as the infamous Easter Tourney, are being held in a non-university city.
