Why is hosting the rugby world cup so impotent to new zealand?

Answer 1

The financial aspect of tourism, hotels, motels camping areas will see huge financial injection, from that you have full ground for games averaging 70,000 per match plus there will be huge footfall for transport, increase in food outlet activity, Bar (obviously) will see massive increase of customer activity. The off set of these of course is more revenue for brewers, food production, jobs in tourism, extra staff required to man pubs, food outlets, hotels, and of course you have the cleaning up after matches which will require more people to cope across the country.

Plus the opportunity for NZ to show off its capability of hosting one of the largest shows on earth
