Auckland hospitality providers are "crushed" to be left out of the city's reactivation budget. The Government, Auckland Council and Auckland Unlimited have put together a $37.5 million fund to revitalise the city. It includes a $12-million voucher programme for discounts on commercial attractions and public facilities - but not hospitality. Restaurant Association chief executive Marisa Bidois says they knew a programme was on the way - but only discovered today they weren't involved. She told Heather du Plessis-Allan they actually proposed the idea to the government about 18 months ago."It does feel like a bit of a slap in the face."
