2017 was a record year for the Games. The combination of being a pre-Winter Olympics year plus the addition of new events saw a 67% increase in
competition entries on 2013, also a pre-Olympic Games year. Similarly the number of individual competitors increased by 21% on 2013 to a record 846.
The only area of concern was a drop in individual entries in alpine ski racing from a high of 199 in 2013 to 177 in 2017. This could be the result of moving
the races a week later as the United States was a significant country that did not enter any of the ANC races.

Notes:
The Winter Games NZ Trust’s financial year is to December 31 so the above presents the projected financial position at
that date.
The financial report covers two financial years i.e. 2016 & 2017.ECONOMIC BENEFITS The economic impact from international and domestic attendees at the Audi quattro Winter Games NZ was a record 45,400 bed nights putting $13,400,669 into Central Otago. This is a record economic return for the region by the Games. These figures are calculated purely from those whose reason for being in New Zealand/Central Otago was primarily because of the Games. No multipliers have been applied. INTERNATIONAL IMPACT Total number of international bed nights & value 30,310 $8,080,930 Calculated net national benefit from international visitors $8,593,696 Significant international revenue $785,223 Total net national benefit $9,378,919 DOMESTIC IMPACT Total number of domestic bed nights & value 12,625 $2,570,500 Games partner’s hosting & leveraging bed nights & value 2,465 $1,451,250 Domestic totals 15,090 $4,021,750 INTERNATIONAL MEDIA Not included in the above valuations is the value to New Zealand of the extensive international media coverage, especially through television and social media. Importantly, the Games is one of the few major international sports events held within New Zealand that has strong reach in to key New Zealand tourism markets i.e. Australia, China, Korea, Japan, the United States, Canada, Great Britain and western Europe. See the media section for the extent of that coverage but, as a guide, iSentia valued the news coverage in Australia at $2,232,345. This did not include the Fox Sports television coverage or any social media. By January 31st, 2018, the Games will have achieved in excess of 1,000 hours of international coverage from more than 10,000 transmissions.
TELEVISION
As for all previous editions of the Games, the television broadcast was produced by Kinetic Media. The four FIS World Cups and
the curling finals were broadcast live and we produced seven highlights packages that featured all events other than the FIS
World Cups.
The Winter Games NZ owned all television and digital rights apart from the four FIS World Cups where we owned the rights
for New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific Islands only. Italian media company, Infront Media, owns the rights for the FIS World
Cups internationally through to the 2021/22 season.
NEW ZEALAND: TVNZ
For 2017 the Winter Games shifted its television partnership from Mediaworks (TV3 and NewsHub) to TVNZ. There were five
live programmes broadcast on Duke and seven highlights programmes broadcast on Duke and TVOne. With repeats, there was
a total of 60.5 hours of free to air television coverage in New Zealand. The seven broadcasts on TVOne attracted the strongest
audiences with an average audience of 42,000 and average reach of 116,000 for a cumulative reach of 823,900.
Delivered - On Air
• 60 hours and 30 mins of broadcast coverage delivered across TVOne and Duke.
• 209 TARPs and 2 hours and 26 mins of marketing coverage.
• Estimated 120 x 30” opener and closer credits.
• Estimated 240 x 15” sponsorship credits embedded into content.
• 89 Audi quattro logo on TVNZ promotions over 15” in duration.

This is one of the reasons it has been a Platinum Level event on the AFP calendar for years. In addition to being hosted on premier courses, the event is well organized, managed by a team of passionate event and production professionals and truly highlights the Kiwi spirit…and the athletes love it! The only downside to the event is that it currently only happens every two years – and the community of freeskiing needs and wants an event of this calibre every year.

SOCIAL MEDIA
The social media plan was based around a collective partnership with, in particular, Audi,
Red Bull, GoPro, Mons Royale, Mumm, The North Face, Jucy, Lake Wanaka Tourism,
Destination Queenstown and Tourism NZ. The result was that, through the combination
of the Games partners and the Games own social channels we exceeded our 5 million
target by reaching a total of 8,072,581 (as at 30/09/2017) social users. Still to be
received are the key reports from Lake Wanaka Tourism, AFP, FIS, Jucy, Tourism NZ.

Other initiatives were:

the domestic profile of the Games.

value and leveraging opportunities for Games sponsors and stakeholders.
In addition to the Games own marketing campaign, the strategy was to facilitate a
stronger involvement by our commercial, tourism and media partners i.e. a collective
marketing effort by partners to not only promote the Games but to also increase their
leveraging of the Games.
The result was an increased visibility, engagement and promotion of the Games on
partner websites, social media platforms and radio. Airports

and after the Games.FESTIVAL The festival activities were moved back up on to the mountains, this year, so that we could create more of a festival environment alongside the events. The Opening Ceremony again incorporated the Night Dual Slalom at Coronet Peak and Prime Minister, the Right Honorable Bill English, officially opened the Games. A very successful development was the activations undertaken at Cardrona Alpine Resort by Cardrona, Red Bull, Mumm Champagne, Corona & Jucy. As a result, there was daily entertainment on mountain that included the Mumm Club de Neige, Red Bull DJ performances and the Corona Slopestyle Pop Up bar. This initiative will be further developed in 2018 and also include Coronet Peak. The Red Bull Jump and Freeze was successfully held within the Games on The Remarkables with an estimated crowd of 1,000 present. The video content produced received strong domestic and global interest. Definitely worth repeating. The Closing Ceremony, at Cardrona Alpine Resort, had to be reduced in format and brought forward one day due to very poor weather forecasts for the final weekend. The snow falling during the official closing did add a special atmosphere. This was the fifth time that we have held the Jucy Meltdown Concert in Wanaka.
